What causes it? Can I stop it? And will it grow out as she getes older?

seems small enough that now under Florida conditions
will basically self-correct and straighten out
if given adequate diet
mixing species or other animals in is not generally recommended
for number of reasons
they are basically solitary in nature but are known
to congregate

Cool,thanks. She just seems lonely,I know I would be!

Any suggestions on diet,or leave it alone? She eats a regular diet of greens,with about twice a week fruits. She seems fine on cal,at least she doesn't ever really touch the cal bar in her inclosure!

just because she doesn't utilize the "calcium bar" in the enclosure does not mean she is getting enough calcium in her diet - sprinkle some powdered calcium on her food periodically
Happy New Year

It's funny you say that,cause about a month ago I started shaving it onto her food once a week. Plus everyday the weather hits at least 70. I put her outside for the day
