Hi I got a hatchling sulcata tortoise for my mom for mothers day and I've realised his she'll feels extremely thin especially his plastron I can feel it pop in slightly when I pick him up I have a heat bulb and a uvb bulb I alternate in the same lamp the heat bulb for about 11 hours and the uvb for about 3 hours I keep a low dish of water in at all times as long as soaking him for about 10 minutes every couple days, I keep him on Cyprus mulch but later today I'm gonna try switching it to a mix of Cyprus mulch and eco earth any advice on the ratio I should use would be greatly appreciated, I feed him about 95% clover from my back yard and about 5% dandelions I sprinkle some calcium powder with d3 on his clover every other feeding but he usually ignores the calcium as much as possible I also have a few small pieces of cuttle bone around his enclosure. Please help me with any advice you could possibly give I just want to provide the best care possible
