Hello! I've had my little guy Stannis, the one true tortoise king since June. I think he's about 6 months old and he is 1.6 oz. I've been charting his growth and it seems pretty steady.
Today when I was soaking him, I noticed a ridge on his stomach, right down the center. His shell seems pretty smooth except for this ridge which I think is pretty new. Is this a sign of pyramiding? Right now he eats a lot of mixed greens and sometimes some cactus. He's had a cherry tomato twice, but doesn't seem to like them much. He also has a cuddle bone in his house which he does appear to nibble on.
I've attached some pictures to try to show, particularly what his stomach looks like vs the rest of his shell, but he's so tiny it may be hard to tell. Any thoughts are welcome. I've been trying to figure out correct feeding, but it seems like everyone has an opinion on what's ok and what's not.
Thanks!
