Does it look like he is pyramiding? He was adopted early summer 2017 at 10 years old. Later that summer the neighbors dog dug under the fence and chewed his front leg off. The Vet amputated what was left and we treated him all winter, no hibernation. Spring of 2018 he is going strong and vet okayed him to hibernate winter if 2018. He woke up a couple weeks ago and is active and eating. But his scutes look more raised than we remembered. I read where over feeding can cause this. We were so concerned with keeping him active and eating in order to heal we may have over fed? He ate grass, dandelions, spring mix (most spinach removed), red Romain, mustard, turnip, collard greens. He will not touch the Mazuri pellets wet or dry. I grow as many things as I can for him to eat.
Does he look pyramid to you experts on Desert torts? If so, suggestions to keep it from continuing?
