you know that part around a turtles rear legs and between them and the tail? like, the soft fleshy part? is that supposed to feel kind of hard to the touch, or when you press it is it supposed to squish in?
i honestly cant remember if it was ever otherwise, but a few days ago i was pressing around back there to check if anything was abnormal because i recently moved him from a glass tank into an opaque tub and hes been acting a little erratic and that part felt hard to the touch, like maybe something under it was swollen or he was bloated.
is that normal? or is that part supposed to be squishy?
hes been eating normally but I also noticed he had bitten off some plastic from a sheet that I thought he couldnt reach and I'm worried about impaction
