The last time I got an Emblem from Yoozhou Toadboy, there were some soft-shells, and the last time I opened the box, it wasn't a fat tortoise, it was his friend. I just asked him to help with it, it was caused by his neglect and the way he had to raise it.
In our breeding, the presence of abdominal hulls in turtle seedlings usually results in two causes:
1. Malnutrition and lack of necessary vitamin proteins and minerals;
II. Absorption differentials due to chronic intestinitis of seedlings. In other words, food is the same, and if there are a large number of soft-shell symptoms, it is mostly caused by malnutrition.
What should we do with it? This four points are important;
1. Food can be replaced by turtles, with attention to food mix.
2. Give appropriate UVB exposures at the same time, or better solar exposures to promote calcium absorption.
3. For the more severe tortoises, we need to arrange separate breeding.
4. Maintain temperature at about 28°C, with appropriate increases in nutrition and feeding.
