peeling skin
Posted: 28/12/2009 by winnie

Hi all, hope everyone had a good crimbo. Was just wondering if someone could answer a question for me. Queenie my Horsfield seems to be doing great in her big sleep but on her last weigh in and check I've noticed that a lot of her skin is starting to peel, is this ok?

Hi

Lovely Christmas, thank you :)

It is quite normal for tortoise's skin to peel, as long as there is no redness or weeping, it is fine,

all the best

Nope, there's no redness and no weeping, I can now stop worrying.

Best wishes for 2010.
