I don't think he can hurt himself as long as he can't actually bite off a piece of rock. I've seen Spot bite his favorite rock from time to time. Is your turtle doing it a lot?

LOL I don't think so! Toutolina does the same thing - even tries to move it. Just make sure it doesn't have any sharp edges that can really cause harm

Turtley bites his "girlfriend" rock constantly. He bites it, then spins it, then flutters at it. He repeats this for hours. Hopefully they're smart enough not to bite down too hard on them. He would be so lonely without his lovely rocks...

Ha! Octpusgirl, your Turtley sounds a lot like Spot. I think Spot gets impatient because his "girlfriend" never responds no matter how hard he flutters!

Lol at least Spot knows when to call it quits! Turtley doesn't know how to take a hint :D
