Strange Tail?

[xMissyDx]

Hi again all your advice is invaluable so hope you dont mind me posting again
So Dave, my axie, is now doing well, so I was surprised when I noticed a dent in his tail. Its visible in the picture, but theres also one about an inch further down his tail on the underside which is a little smaller. Altogether, its looks like theres three? Im worried, please help!!
Thanks in advance x

They lol like they were injuries from something - I've had a few get these after having major freak outs for whatever odd reason.

Check all the edges of any objects in the tank (post a tank pic if you like - some here may see something you'd never think of) rub your fingers over the edges of hides & all surfaces to see if there's a sharp bit that could catch a tail.

If your water in tank is kept clean these wounds or nicks should heal well & fast.

This is a pic of Dave - she's a rescue (yes she lol) is recuperating from living in a 8"inch diameter fish bowl - Dave is 10"in long so her tail was permanently curled & had a few nicks out of it - the tail is nearly healed now
- it's just the jaggered tip that is nearly healed

Hi nikki, thanks for your reply, and may i say, what a lovely girl you have! She looks like shes smiling for the camera. Iv called mine dave as a temp measure because i dont know if hes a he or a she lol. The things in the tank have been in for going on 9 months so dont think its tht, but he did start freaking out a couple of days ago (some have said an itch or skin irritation) and its since then i have noticed it. I didnt realise he had hurt himself x

They tend to go schizopop at the most minor thing and injuries are par for the course - the tail is so easily damaged, but the good news is its the fastest thing to heal

So don't feel bad - they're not the brightest creatures in the book
- but they sure are the cutest

Dave just lurves to stretch out & often is found in this strange yoga position - I think it's her physiotherapy for a curled tail - she's rehabilitated herself really she's so awesome & always comes up to the surface to say hi (&get a worm or 3 lol)
