Hi, I need some help! I noticed last week that my 3 yr old russian tort Toby is getting a soft, squishy feel to his shell. He is still eating and is very active. I immediately changed both UVA & UVB bulbs as I can honestly say I think it's been about 6 months since doing so. I was feeding him spring mix. During the summer he loves the yard weeds Dandelion is his favorite. Since it is winter here spring mix has worked every other year. I went and bought some Kale today and pellets. He ate the Kale but would not touch the pellets. I also have a cuttlebone in his cage which he has never touched. Can I fix him? In other words once there shell goes soft can it be reversed and harden up again? What do I do? HELP, I love this little guy and want to do what is best for him. Thank you!
