So I just received my little babies a couple days ago. And my one little guy on the left has some indentation on his shell.

I've got a good amount of UVB in the enclosure. I've got a mineral powder and a calcium supplement that is berry scented.

My question is, with these juveniles, how often do I offer the supplement?

Because they hide quite a bit because they're still babies, therefore not getting the UVB rays all day.

I've had to direct them over to it once or twice a day. And I offer a little food in the basking area to try to keep them up there. They'll usually stuck around 10-15 min.ImageUploadedByTortForum1396219263.703826.jpg

And I read they shouldn't get berries often. But we had a little spoiling today. Just to get the pic. :)

Very cute. I would give the supplement twice a week. Also, even though they are not right under the basking light, they will still get UVB. A lot of members with RF say they don't usually bask much like other species.
