Will be soaking daily for a while to get him rehydrated and make sure everything is running smoothly. The reason this occurred was because his water dish isn't shallow enough which is 100% my fault. His old one broke a lil bit ago so I used a different dish but it was to deep so i added rocks in...
Im glad im able to get back to this post quick with my progression. Such a smart tortoise, helped me remove it by letting me know when to set it down and let him try himself. This is the aftermath, the sense of relief of the tortoise is already visible. The stone was a lil wider than a nickel.
Thank you for the advice, when i was picking at it my tortoise kept squirming as if in pain so i didnt know if i should've kept going so i stopped and will try again later tonight and tomorrow. The stone is pretty hard, so it's a bit difficult to chip away at it properly or break it up
