We have just acquired a new tortoise for my son (almost 2 months ago). He is happy and healthy and I have been stalking this forum since before we brought him home. My concern is that Tony loves to burrow but his favorite place to make himself a nest is right up against/partially under his basking rock. He always digs in head first and then turns around in the same direction causing him to scuff one part of his shell on the rock. I am worried that if he continues to do this he will hurt himself. Should I be concerned or should I trust that he will not do this to the point of injury?
