Hi all, I was wondering if there is any way to stop the pyramiding effect on tortises. I recently aquired a sulcatta tort, that is approx. 1'2" in length. He has some pyramiding of the shell but not as bad as I have seen on others. The main diet of my 3 guys and 1 girl is the following. Orchard grass hay, field hay mixture, sweet grass hay, as their main diet. They also get a mixture of romaine, green and red leaf lettuce, endive, and zucchinni, squash, sweet potatoe, and sprouts. I also add the calcium/phospherus 2 times a week. During the summer they are kept outdoors, and int he cooler weather they are kept indoors with the T-rex uv heat lights. Is this diet sufficiant,a dn will it help to slow down the pyramiding effect?? All help is greatly appreciated.

try cut down the softties (more rauhage) and perhaps some Mazuri, also raise the humidity a little in their hide box
