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.
