Hello, ive looked at all other nail/scale threads but could not find help.
Ive noticed today that my outside living tortoise lost part of his scale on feet due to walking on one of his feet- im sure its due to pavement as he lives in garden- he have dry hide as well if it rains i take him home. Luckily its not bleeding- just bit of his flesh is exposed.
He does love to walk so wondered if anyone knows how can i prevent it, im going to wrap his feet and change his bandages, but im worrying about it in more long term way
Does anyone have idea how can i help him out, maybe little sock-like protection or any diy help or any i can buy? He loves his garde, its tortoise proofed but due to him being very active it seems like he hurt his feet.
Im thinking something a la dog socks but cant find any already existing ones
considering buying or using some old shoes of mine and make him diy shoes
