Hello guys,
I'm very new to this forum, so I would just like to start off by saying a big HELLO!
I have a 2 year old Russian tortoise. A couple of months ago he hurt the left hand side of his mouth, and a part of his skin/soft tissue fell off, creating a small hole. The injury seemed to have healed well and I didn't think anything more of it. However, just recently he has rubbed his face again against his hide and caused the injury to re-open. I have attached a picture of what it currently looks like.
Does anyone have any advice or information? Has this happened to their tortoise?
He seems to be perfectly happy and still eating well. I just wanted a few opinions before I take him to the vet.
Thanks you in advance!
