I believe (umbilical spot is healed, but still dark). When I went to soak and feed them today, I noticed one of them had a slightly concave plastron and it seemed a little on the soft side. He's always acted fine, moved around fine, eaten fine, so this surprised me a little. When I checked on him a couple hours later, the plastron seemed like it was back to normal. Are their shells still soft enough at that age that a good meal or a good poo could cause changes in the shape of their plastron?

Not that the sunk in process in not happening in same part of the plastron, sometime it is sunk near tail, middle, and sides.
And I will notice only at the early morning when i pick for soaking, whole day i dont see it is happening, and also they come back to normal during day,.

What is the reason and mystery it is happening.
