Hello everyone, My turtle (his name is Lucky) seems to have a crack or fracture in his lower jaw. This has developed over 3–4 days. Because of the gap now between his upper and lower jaws, he can’t eat by himself. I have to cut his food into small pieces and gently place it in his mouth by...

My 6-years-old redfoot tortoise has just eaten a rock, a little big one, that is as large as her mouth. The rock was sharp and tough enough to give me some worries. If you have ever experienced similar situations or have medical expertise on this, Please give me some help. Thank you in advance.
