    Help with shell damage please?

    She is active and eating well. No discharge, no smell. Very dry. She just hates being indoors and is very cross, hissing at me when İ touch her.

    Help with shell damage please?

    This is still chipping off... Almost like an eggshell... She seems to be unaffected by it. But my over-amorous old boy is ramming her quite often, and İ'm worried about the bone underneath.

    Hi Mantissa3 We live in Istanbul :( The tort is a she and is full of eggs. All bones seem to be ok but there is a lot of flesh damage. One egg was broken and the vet helped her pass it. I still could not find a tortoise specialist but the veterinary faculty seems to know what they are doing...
