Hi,
My Russian Tortoise sadly escaped for a couple of weeks, but luckily he was found by a neighbour on a green a couple of hundred metres away (so anyone who loses one don't give up hope - flyers and posters worked!).
The two weeks he was AWOL it rained a fair bit so he was out in the wet. He's been back in his dry enclosure for a week with UVB / Heat, and a dry substrate.
I took him to an exotic vet today who gave him a health check and said he seemed healthy (no signs of lethargy etc. and inside of his mouth looked ok). But, on bringing him back from the vet, it looks like some of his plastron might be peeling... would it be possible to take a look and see what you think (and if I need to do anything...?).
Thanks!
