Ive had my hermanns for 3 weeks.
A joiner built me an 8ft by 4ft indoor enclosure aswell as a 10ft by 5ft outdoor.
Ive been to the vet twice first was to get hus beak trimmed snd annual health check. Everything is fine. The outcome was that hes a happy and healthy tortoise.
The second time was because he ate a buttercup. The outcome was still good a healthy tortoise.
Now today i left him to go to work. Came back from work. Didnt see anything unusual picked him up and put him in his outdoor enclosure.
There i noticed that he is missing a lot of scales where the bend is in his front leg. Just one of them.
I rang the vet straight away and can see me on monday. I sent them a photo of his leg.
Now the joiner seems like a bit of a rubbish tradesman. He didnt put liner down in the hide part of the indoor so i didnt put soil in there i put a load of newspapers.
My tort loves the newspaper and has been burrowing in it. But i think what has happened. Hes burrowed himself so much that he may have scraped his leg on the wooden floor.
So upset with myself and cant help blaming myself.
Monday seems like such a long time to wait.
