In April, I took my tortoise Flash Bang to the vet. The vet said that he has craters, white spots,and fading edges because I was over feeding him and he was growing to rapidly for his shell to keep up. I'm only 15 and Flash Bang is my first tortoise so I fed him every day. The vet recommended that I cut down to feedings twice a week. So I did what I was told and have seen no difference. In July, I cut down to 1 feeding a week with cuttle bone calcium powder and still see no difference as of today. Flash Bang's next appointment is in November and I just want to help the little guy. Is there any supplements or dietary needs to help his shell catch up with the growing rate. Please help. His life span could be shortened if I dont fix this and I wouldnt be able to live with myself if I knew it was my fault. Thanks
