Sometime ago, someone (sorry I'm soooo bad w/ names!) posted about his/her turles getting attacked by a rat. Recently, I discovered simular injuries on my female boxie. I did the soak/antibiotic thingy and she seems ok. But I am wondering as to the cause of the injuries.

I'm pretty sure there aren't any rats in the enclosure. But I have been having problems with chipmunks! I'm not sure if they are tunneling in or got in last spring when the door was off. I keep trapping and releasing them. So far I've caught 8 of them!

Anyway, would a chipmunk chew on a turle shell like that?
