Hey guys. My name is Jennifer. I just learned about pyramiding from this forum. I am 100% sure my RF has it.
Things I need to fix right away: calcium dust food, mist her cage daily, take her out for some sunshine.
Do you have any other advice or recommendations? Does she otherwise look healthy?
Myrtle is around 6 years old. She is very friendly and loves baths and getting her head pet. We feed her a mix of mostly greens with an occasional grape, apple, zucchini, or egg white.
I just want the best for this girl!

That's not your typical Pyramiding, that looks like Metabolic Bone Disease imo. Does this tortoise get access to sunlight or have a UVB lamp?

She now has a UVB lamp. Thank you for the suggestion. I want everything to be perfect for her.
Do you recommend a mixed substrate- an area with wood chips, coco husk, and smooth pebbles?
