I noticed over the past few weeks that my Sulcata seems to be getting raw around his mouth. I have never seen him rubbing up against the side of his enclosure but I do use terra cotta saucers as his food/water bowls and I am thinking that might be what's causing it. I provide him with a saucer of cuddlebone shavings and I think he might be rubbing his mouth raw against the terra cotta while he's eating the cuddlebone shavings. The rawness around his mouth seemed to coincide with his increased interest in the cuddlebone shavings (I do feed him a variety of foods and give him a couple pinches of calcium supplement a week). Other than the rawness he is acting normal and is actually eating more and has been growing faster over the past couple of weeks (he's grown almost 2 grams a day for the past couple of weeks which is more than normal for him!)
Does it sound like this could be the case or does this look like something different?
