HELLO
NO MINERAL OIL
THAT IS ONE I HAVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE
THE PLASTRON OF A YOUNG BABY IS THE SAME AS A CHILDS BELLY BUTTON WHEN THEY ARE BORN
TREAT WITH BETADINE UNTILE THE SCAB FROM THE UMBILICUS FALLS OFF
THE SHELL TAKES A LITTLE WHILE TO GET HARD THIS IS LIKE A BABYS BONES WEAK BUT THEY GET STRONG WITH AGE
IF THE TORTOISE IS UNACTIVE AND DOES NOT GROW BUT STARTS TO GET SOFT THAT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY
SOFT IN THE BELLY IS NORMAL FOR FRESHLY HATCHED
BUT IF YOU NOTICE THE SIDES ARE SOFT ALSO AND A LOSS OF ACTIVITY
SEEK A VET SOONER THEN LATER
THESE LITTLE GUYS GROW FAST AND SHOULD EAT A TON
MAZURI MIXED WITH GREENS WITH A CALCIUM SUPPLEMENT WILL GET THEM HARD AND SMOOTH " MAZURI HAS VITAMIN D3 IN IT"
HEAT AND U.V. FOR INDOORS ARE NECESSARY
THE YELLOW CAP IS INDOOR THE RED CAP IS FOR OUTDOOR
I FIND MINERAL EASIER BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO MIX
CUTTLEBONE WORKS WELL ALSO FOR CALCIUM
CHELONIA.ORG IS A GREAT PLACE FOR INFO
THANKS
