Tortoise Shell Crack

[Srinivas Maganti]

Hey Guys this is Srinivas,

I recently got 3 tortoises (2 males and 1 female) 2 Years and 1 Year old and put them in a separate enclosure to keep them protected from my dog.

Today by the time i got home the 2 year male tortoise was outside the enclosure and i think i saw a crack on its shell, can any one tell me if this is a crack and what can be done?

The vets in India don't know much about Tortoises so seeking help here.

P.S i am feeding them cucumber, spinach,carrots and tomatoes. These are indian star tortoises,Their enclosure is outside in the lawn with water,sunlight and shade. Please let me know if i should make any other arrangements or feed anything else other than the above.

Thanks a Ton.

Welcome!
It looks like a superficial crack and some assorted old, healed battle scars.
I think it'll be fine.
I think that that diet sounds pretty wrong.
Check out our star tortoise section for a list of foods to offer, etc.

Thanks guys ! I increased the height of the enclosure so that my dog doesn't get in, also changed the diet they are doing way better!!
