Pyramiding

[Hatchy]

My baby is pyramiding pretty bad i feel like the previous owner didn't do a good job with him. Is there anyway to cure it, or do you just hope for it not to get any worse?

post a picture.. and READ the info in the sulcata section..... you cant 'cure' it or make it go away,, but you can stop it from getting worse.. see the posts at the very top of the sulcata section...

Read the threads at the bottom of my post. They are Toms and he tells you how to raise them to not pyramid. It's too late for your to not pyramid, but doing it Toms way will help him to stop and start growing smooth. Hopefully when s/he's an adult, it won't be so noticeable. Good luck.

Don't worry about it. My Daisy was worse and you can hardly tell anymore at 5 years old. Read the links in my signature. You need a good diet, lots of exercise, sunshine, regular soaks, shell spraying 3 or 4 times a day, and a humid hide with warm temps. Just enjoy your tortoise and keep her as healthy as possible.

not pretty for such a young one... calcium in the diet is a must... and sunshine...
