Boy, if you've grown hundreds of stags, and never seen something like that, I'm speechless! I know for a fact it hasn't fallen, but we did have a mouse in the house a few months ago that we finally were able to exterminate. It chewed up a hoya that I'd rooted from a cutting, and the plant died. I was devastated. As far as I know, the mouse was never in the room where the stag is, but who knows? That could explain why it almost looks "chewed." Never thought of that until you brought my attention to the traumatic lesions. It sure didn't look like that when I received it. I hope it is able to overcome the trauma, wherever it came from.
