I recently received a baby Greek Tortoise. She is very young, roughly six months old and we are fairly sure she is female. As such we have names her Morla. My mother got her from a pet store near where we live and we are fairly sure she wasn't properly cared for there. She came to us rather lethargic and unwilling to eat. Her shell was also quite soft. This is what I am worries about now. I am not sure if she just has baby shell or she has a problem. Her carapace is firm around the edges, nearest to her head and limbs, but the middle is quite soft and looks rather deformed. I will be including pictures. We have been taking good care of her now, keeping her humidity ad temp in line, feeding her the right things, giving her vitamin powder, and bathing her daily in carrots and water to keep her from drying out and giver her more vitamins, She is so much better now then when we got her and she eats plenty, has more energy, and has a curious and spunky personality to her.My only worry is her shell, which is as soft as ever in the center. This would not worry me if it looked normal but it doesn't. She IS my first tortoise and I don't want to loose her or something. Any help?
