Baby Horsefield shell advice

[Jessica J]

Hi, is it normal for a baby horsefield to have some dips in his shell underneath? We rescued him 3 months ago and he wasn't looked after very well. He had a check up at the vet when I first got him and they said apart from him having a soft shell he was fine. since we've had him he seens happy as eating well / toiliting fine etc. We have a good set up with his lamp, substrate etc.Today after soaking him I realised the underneath of his shell he has two dips right at the bottom just above his back legs. Is this something i should be concerned about ? If so I shall make another vet appointment. Picture attached. Many thanks in advance .

Those areas are perfectly normal for a young tortoise. They will flatten out and disappear as it gets older and older.
