Hi everyone!
I had just recently adopted a baby Greek tortoise hatching that is around 8 weeks old, weighing in at 34grams and 1.2oz.
I keep his temps normal, give him plenty of sunshine, as well as plenty of calcium in his food! He poops everyday and gets warm water soaks every morning.
I noticed when I got him (at 5-6 weeks old) that the bottom of his shell in the center was a tad soft. Not spongy, but like a plastic lid feel. Should I be concerned? Or is this normal since he is a hatchling?
thanks!
