hi guys,
i'd like to ask your expertise on this:
i have two red foot torts - not sure how old, but when i measure their belly shell these are 6 cm and 6,5 cm.
i just noticed today, that for both of them the belly shell is soft. the smaller one more than the larger one. this is the first time i noticed this so i am not sure about any change at this point, but i wanted to ask if this is normal at their size / age.
both are eating and seem fine (no change in behavior) and they both eat their calcium / vit along with their food, they don'T really make use of the UV lamp / basking spot though (apart from their daily bath for which i put them right under that lamp).
thanks for your advice on this!
Steve
