While handleing my hatchling this morning I noticed his shell felt a bit softer than before. I was told and read that he needs a bit more calcium in his diet . Due to conflicting info on the net I'm not sure whats the best to use. I only want whats best and will do what it takes.
My questions are :
What should I be giving him? How much should a hatchling ( about 3in ) get per week?
Besides his shell getting softer he seems fine. Poops look like they should and he's active. Clear eyes , very alert. I'm new to this so any and all help is welcome. Has a UVB light along with basking light. Goes out for 30 to 45 mins. 4 to 6 days a week (good weather this time of year). Has a humidity box and tortoise table (3' x 6') is misted a few times a day.He doesn't really like the mist. Eats bermuda grass, I try to sneek some hay in , broadleaf plaintain, dandelions and some clover.
If you have any tips on what I can add to his diet in order to get the best varity possible please let me know.
