So Matillda has a small cut on her top shoulder most likely from a stray stick in her romp about her outdoor enclosure. I placed a little anti-bacterial lotion on it after I rinsed it with a water hydrogen peroxide/water solution. well when its all said and done she keeps biting as her wound making it more of a mess then the tiny one she started with. Any suggestions?

Rinse off what ever you put on it. It might be stinging or something that she keeps biting at it. Then just check it daily and rinse it out with just clean water.

Its been off for a few days I only used it during the initial cleaning. My reptile vet sent it home with a redfoot I rescued earlier this winter. The poor guy had a few burns on it from a heat lamp. So it is tortoise safe and hasnt been on since Saturday.
