My family has been raising desert tortoises for years (since before I was born 24 years ago!) We recently took back a desert tortoise whom we had given to a family member to be a part of their family. This tortoise had dug a hole in their yard and was caught in the chainlink fence. While he was caught in the chainlink fence the neighbors small dog had attacked his front legs. We took him back since he has been attacked by a dog before and his legs were fine just a little beat up and now his scales are falling off of his front legs. We are going to take him to the vet to have him checked out, but I was wondering if anyone knows if his scales will ever grow back or will his legs stay the way they are?
I've included a picture of his legs...I'm just curious to hear what everyone has to say about them.
