Hi I have taken in an older tortoise who keeps getting open sores on her front legs I thought maybe one of my other tortoises were biting her so I’ve separated them and she is still getting them. Can anyone help please

Is this tortoise outside? It might be that mice or rats are chewing on the legs during the night. This is a frequent occurrence.

Poor tortoise! I'd say that it is possibly rats that are chewing on her legs at night. From the picture it looks like a russian tortoise am I correct?
