Keep in a hospital like area that is clean, no dirt or bugs and keep him warm. 85 day and night. Do not let bugs get too the wound.

If no shell is missing then they could yes. If shell is missing, like into the cavity then no I wouldn't, just keep clean.
It looks more like scraps then shell missing down to cavity, right?
