Hi all, we have sun at last.
Had all my redfoots out in the garden today soaking up the sun. 1 of them did something freakish. It looked like something was annoying her so started to bob her head in and out of her shell quite fast. Her head got stuck inside the shell because her bottom jaw was lodged on the inside of her plastron. She could not close her jaw, I had to get my finger in under the neck and prize her jaw back up. All was well and she wandered off as though nothing had happened. Don't know what would have happened if we didn't see her.
As anyone else ever seen this happen.
Thank you
Craig
