I have my tort almost a year-when I got it he was only about3 1/2 inches. I notice now that his shell is pyramiding-I feed him dandelion greens,escarole,romaine,collard greens.I have mazuri tort food but he prefers the greens -especially dandelion-Ive tried hay-he doesnt really go for it. Please give some advice on how to further prevent any pyramiding-He is about 6 inches now and looks very healthy. I have a UVA/UVB light on through daylight hours. What am I doing wrong.
