Pyramid shells tortoises

It is thought to be caused by being in an environment without adequate humidity. What type of tortoise do you have and how are you housing it?

Hi terry and June are 6 y old hermans they came from a owner who has had them since babies she gave me this vivarium set up I'm new to all of this so I want to make sure I'm getting it right I do let them wander around the lounge when I'm in we have made them a ramp to get in and out of the vavarium. I'm feeding them dandilions leaves and watercress with some lettuce I also have took them to a vet who said they seemed healthy and I soak them every other day

There are quite a few threads on here with regards to a 'healthy' diet for your torts. I also find the websites 'the tortoise table' and 'shelled warriors' very useful too.
