Im a newbie to owning a tortoise and have tried my best to make sure it is healthy but i noticed its tail doesnt look very good as it pealing and seems sore please could someone advise me how i can prevent this from happening and help get it better
It's hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like there's a sore on the end of the tail - either that or the tip has come off. I would take it to a vet for a professional assessment.
Hello, and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum.
What type of wood ?
Cypress mulch and orchid bark are good but I wouldn't use anything else.
Coco coir is an excellent substrate.
