Hi,
Lately I've been noticing that my RT's shell has a few "flakes" on it - meaning that there are very thin bits of shell, like paper width, hanging off of it. This isn't noticeable unless you pick her up and run your finger along her shell both ways. She eats ZooMed's Grassland Tortoise Diet, with some grocery store greens ("Spring Mix" type), and three times a week she's getting some Opuntia cactus. Just started with that a week or two ago. She has a cuttlefish bone stick in her cage, and right now she has no supplements. Am I missing some basic nutrition? Or is this normal?
Thanks,
