Quite possibly. Seems like I read something once
where someone had some baby turtles attacked and
killed by chipmunks.

A few years ago I had four turtles come out of hibernation
with their the top layer of some of their scutes chewed off.

There was white, which I assumed was bone left where the
top layer of shell had been chewed off.

This summer, 3-4 years(?) later, the white is starting
to flake off and there appears to be some sort of healing
underneath. It doesn't look like the normal shell material.
But it is hard and looks better than the white.

I was pretty sure the culprits were shrews that I had seen
around. Haven't seen as many shrews in a while. I think my neighbors cat must have got quite a few of them.
