I posted a thread concerning this earlier, but it probably wouldn't get much responses if I added it there. My supposedly 10 month old hermann's tortoise has a soft plastron. I soaked her today, and noticed when I slightly push on it in pushes in. The center seems to be the worst place for it. Is this a calcium deficiency? If it is do I treat it by giving calcium supplements more?
Here is her care;
95 F basking spot, humidity usually 40%-50%, cool end usually 80's warm end 85, I sprinkle calcium supplement with D3 on her food twice a week, but I did it at the beginning of this week (Monday then Tuesday). I also soak her daily and she has a water dish available to her. It isn't hatchling failure syndrome is it? She is 2.5 inches, so I was hoping she was old enough that the threat of that was gone. She eats everyday and acts like any other tortoise. She is extremely active. I feed her mainly grocery store greens at the moment (winter), right now she is getting a spring mix. What should I do if there is anything I can?
