Does it hurt if a tortoise bites you?

Answer 1

Yea, it does hurt if a tortise bites you. This is because, much like a a chick

, it has an egg toooth and that is on the tip of their mouth.

Chelonians have no teeth, just a beak. Tortoises will not bite you, it is turtles you should worry about. My tortoise has only bit me accidentally while I hand fed him and he didn't see my finger. It's a very, very hard pinch that hurts quite a bit.

Answer 2

Yes, it will if they smell something, and think you are edible.

Hedgehogs can rip bark off trees - and their teeth are quite sharp. However, a hedgehog will not bite unless you smell/taste good, have been poorly bred, or are wild.

Answer 3

Yes, a tortoise bite can hurt. While tortoises don't have strong jaws like some other animals, their bites can still cause scratches or bruising due to their sharp beaks. It's best to avoid provoking a tortoise to prevent getting bitten.
