Alright everyone...you have hijacked this thread, the topic is pyramiding in a Russian tortoise. We have a new keeper asking for help. If you wish to debate human vitamins, or EJ's husbandry I suggest you start a new thread. Now let's get back to the pyramiding Russian tort please...I'd hate to have to close this thread.
Kyti...you have already received some pretty good advice, I would reread the first page again.
My input would be there's 4 main things that cause pyramiding...lack of humidity, not enough exercise, not the correct food or amount and lastly not the correct amount of UVB...lesser things is where vitamins would come in. I think the problem is her enclosure is too small, not enough humidity and I think in this case the substrate can come in to question. I think you should switch to cypress mulch and get a bigger enclosure, for starters...
