I just follow the Melissa Kaplan care sheet.... When I saw my turtle pyramiding, I cut back on the protein to once a week and give her more veggies and fruits almost everyday, with supplement of course. Before that i was giving protein every other day, or so...sometimes maybe since he was so young. I give her cuttle bone to chew on also...in case she needs extra calcium. I cut back even more when i see improvement....like ever other week, but give her quite a bit in one sitting. You should follow her care sheet. It's really great. Right now, my turtle shell looks great.
