So I've separated my tortoises into separate bins - the smaller one already seems to be improving in activity and growth! I'm feeding them a mix of romaine and squash and gets weeds and grasses in there whenever and as much as I can.
Little Loretta is getting full sun in her habitat that I put outside and it seems to be helping her shell harden up!
Loo is still growing strong and has even started burrowing in his habitat
But one thing.. Loretta's front nails have all curled and come off. She has little nubs now and hasn't seemed bothered by her nails at all. But I'm just curious as to why this has happened? All of her back nails are fine, it's just her front ones - it seems like the way her feet go on the ground that her nails were too long to bendable or something and so they all came off. But like I said, she has the beginnings of new (stronger looking nails).
Her humidity is right and everything.. just curious to any thoughts?
Maybe she has a little bit of deformities in her genes or something - or maybe something that I need to change?
