Hello all,

My baby Russian that I aquired from a pet store has had a soft shell since i got him. He is abotu 5 months old and is very active outdoors. I have been feeding high calcium foods with proper Ca:P ratio and also supplementing calcium as well. I use herpcare powder on his food which is made of calcium carbonate in its best form, no phos and vitamin D3. Also i have made calicum pellets available at all times, which he occasionally munches on. I use a 150watt uva/uvb light and provide a basking light also. I have done tons of reading and cant seem to solve this problem. I dont wanna lose this little fella, as its gotten worse he is less active and not eating as much. I will be calling the local herp to ask her opinion, i figured i would see if anyone here could help me. thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
Josh
