Hello. I have one Greek tortoise about one month old.
I was wondering if you HAVE to hibernate your tortoise? I did a quick search for a thread with the FAQs but no luck.
And I noticed a little nick in his beak, it looks almost as if s/he has a cut, I can't tell if it is food or a piece of his skin but something is pertruting from her/his face below her/his right eye.
He/she seems healthy because he/she hides from "danger" and moves quite quickly right now. I haven't let her/him out of the cage without watching so I have no idea how he/she would have gotten hurt.
This is a new picture of Brain Gorger, yes that is my tortoise's name.
An old picture for comparison
