Ok guys I have some questions, anyones advice is appreciated but the more experienced the better.. Ok, first question, soft shells, how do u tell if your baby tortoises shell is soft? Mine feels kinda soomth on his plastron but not like I could dent it in, I would compare it it to a pecan shell, or maybe a wooden broom handle, maybe lil softer than that but never has raised a worry, so far, but I'm new so I dont really know... And second question, perparing their food, rather it be greens from the store or weeds from the yard, is it better to give it in the large pieces or better to tear em small for a small hatchling? And lastly the most debatable question, not even sure can be answered.. Can someone put a number on the hatchling failure rate? I know it varies probably by species and is caused by numerous things but in your opinion, and I'm talking to everyone, whats the rate in percentage?
