i don't think turtle's shells have nerves so he probly didn't feel it. And anyways his shell is there so the scratch wouldn't hurt him.

A turtle's shell is there to protect the turtle. As far as I know there is no feeling in a turtle's shell. Your turtle does not feel a thing. He/She is okay. Don't worry about it. hope i helped! Goodluck and God Bless!

PS: my turtles have scratches too and they are happy! :-D

Your turtle can't feel a thing! The shell protects him that's the reason he has it. It doesn't hurt him, he probably can't even feel it! Hope I helped! <3

hey thats a good question. i used to have a box turtle who lived under my deck outside and we had to set him free cause (thats were he came from) my dog would chew on his shell and it would actually bleed. but i think that was actually the skin attatched to shell. im not sure let me look it up for you..

When injured, turtle shells bleed, and the wound likely hurts, since shells contain nerves. Damaged shells can heal, but the process is slow.

ha! that explains it. wow..glad u asked.

Well, it`s a hard shell. Im guessing it wont hurt. But if you do hurt it, how would you know? Do turtles make noise?

Okay "dumbassss"... I know what you were asking "dumbassss". Now what I asked was, Do turtles make noice "dumbassss"! I have some advice for you, grow up. Try acting hmmm, what`s the word I`m looking for... eh Mature...? "dumbassss"

well i dont know a whole ton about turtles, but i do know that their shell is like their house..so does your house hurt when it gets scratched? Doubt it. So i am sure your turtle is fine.
