Healing of fractures
0
0
The shell healing of tortoises victims of fractures happens gradually under the consolidation resin. Resin adjustments - addition, new installation, sanding - may be necessary. If the tortoise is young, its growth is to be monitored in order to verify that it is not hindered by the resin that resorbs on its own within a few months to a few years depending on the extent of the fracture and the speed of growth of the individual.
