Hi everyone so I got my lil Pistachio on the 21st. Hes a baby Greek tortoise and I’ve been researching on how to give him the best care. Today I noticed he has a very tiny soft spot in the dark corner of the scute I’m pointing at, right above my finger (see picture below) is this normal or could it be something to be concerned over? There is no other soft spots but that minor one. One thing I’ve struggled with is feeding him. He is very picky and I’ve been trying to sprinkle calcium on his food but he won’t eat much of it if I do. I give him dandelion weeds primarily and sometimes mix in collard greens, lettuce (I’m trying to get him to stop eating lettuce) and a bit of radicchio. It’s just difficult for me to find many resources that have a more extensive selection of greens and weeds. I’m just hoping this soft spot isn’t a concern and if you guys have any foods that he would enjoy I would love to hear it. It seems that the reptile shop he was at before fed him lettuce most of the time so he loves lettuce ?
