I have a 6 months old Sulcata. I bought a month ago, and noticed 3 out of 4 of its front claws on one leg were broken off. The claws/nails were still there, but they were just stubs. A month later, it seems the claws have not grown back at all. Does it normal take awhile for them to grow back? and say if the nail beds were damaged, would my tortoise have difficulty digging and burrowing?
