Hi! My son was carrying our sulcata and dropped him. The edge of his shell was broken off. How should I treat it? Donut seems ok, after the initial shock he is now having a lettuce treat. This is the edge of his shell over a front leg.
Not sure. It's possible it happened when he was trying to get out of his pool. I cut the side of a plastic kiddie pool so he can get in and out on his own, only he hasn't figured out how to get out once he's in there. He tries to climb the pool wall instead of walking over the part I cut out. I...
It has rained recently, but I haven't seen any live ones above ground lately. These were in our driveway. We don't use any chemicals on our lawn (and it shows, too, lol!), but I'm pretty sure our neighbors do. I guess we will try to find them before he does and keep taking them away from him...

We love him! I have to admit, he...
