One of my hatchlings shell is curling on the ends!! He is only about 1 1/2″ long, the ones I bought with him are over 2 inches. He just has not grown! His shell is really soft also! I have fed these guys eveything I’ve been advised to. I have both UVA and UVB lights going… He seems tired allot lately and in the past few days is eating far less than he used to. Why would his shell curl on the ends so bad? He eats the same exact stuff the others eat. The other terrapins are all fine and healthy! I am really reserved to the notion that this guy ain’t going to make it. Thomas
