Thanks for everyone's quick replies! Yes @Yvonne G I was talking about the wrinkly area in the centre, but more so the slight dark discolouration in the centre, and there are two 'dents' on either side. Hopefully this is all normal for a baby, like you said, and I got the athletes foot cream...

Hi everyone, would someone please be able to help identify what (if there is any) the problem is on my little boy's plastron? Ive got a feeling it could be early shell rot, but hes is very young (about 8 weeks), so maybe this look is normal for babies...? Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the response guys! It gonna take some careful planning but I think ill definitely go ahead with the idea. If anyones got any suggestions please let me know!

I have finally found something he will eat! Avocado!
