Ok, I have been debating with myself for over a week on whether or not to post this or not, but I need to. Our neighbors dog dug under our fence last week while I was at work. By the time my wife noticed it in our backyard there was no telling how long it was there. She got the neighbor to come get the dog and didn't notice anything was wrong. I got home and went out to check on things and my heart sank into my stomach. The dog had chewed on the shell of my friends tortoise that I am watching, and my little redfoot was missing. The chewing was on the outer edge of the shell just above the right rear leg. There is about a quarter inch of depth missing there when compared to the other side. Will this grow back, or will he look damaged like this the rest of his life? I am still sick over this whole thing. That tortoise was brought to my house to keep it safe from dogs, and what happens? A dog digs into my yard and damaged it. Then there is the redfoot. I can't actually say that the dog ate it because I didn't see it happen. However, it was in an escape proof enclosure and could not have gotten out on it's own. It was there that morning before I went to work. I'm so sick about it.
Anyway, does anyone know if that leopard's shell will grow back?
