Hi everyone,
I'm in need for some help. About my baby Dina: a friend bought her a few years ago, it was supposed to be a gift for her 6 year old son. Well, long story short - the kid wasn't that interested in taking care of the turtle, so my friend finally got bored too. That's how Dina ended up in my place ~1 month ago looking like this (see pics below). I'm not an expert but I can see that there's something wrong with Dina's shell. I bought her a heat rock, heat lamp, UVB lamp. We take baths once a week and I oil her shell with a liquid vitamin D3 after. Additionally, she gets Nekton MSA vitamins with her food.
Any thoughts what could be wrong with her shell and how can I help my baby? Please.
Thanks!
Vicky
