when tortoises bite
I have only added small thumbnail size- ha excuse the pun ! as it is pretty grotesque and swollen after a very big girlie tortoise decided she preferred my thumb to the dandelion I was holding for her. I would equate it to shutting your finger in the car door it was so painful.

Looks sore, Clare. Right on the knuckle too. :shock: |
That looks really nasty Clare - poor you. Ask Gordon about tortoise bites as he knows all about them despite what he might say!!

right in the best spot cb keep it clean xx
|
I've had to re- think my strategy for hand feeding this one ! I don't think she had them prior to coming to me and she absolute loves them and made a lunge.
..... Gordon 'band aid brown' ...did you have your fingers crossed saying that ! CB |
Crikey!
When my finger got in the way I just felt it, so now realise how lucky I was. Keep it nice and clean. I don't think you need to hold the dandelions for her by the sounds of things. She will probably chase you next if she sees you with one! |
Ouch how's it feeling a few days on?
|
not that I am a drama queen of course ! it is right on the joint so I forget and then bend it with a sharp intake of breath. You could actually see a blood capillary and shape of the beak, oh it did hurt I admit I burst out crying! (Gordon the band aid king probably didn't as he is not a big girls blouse like me!).
