Soft shell on babies coming out of hibernation?

by BDarlin

Two of my three one-year old Desert Tortoise have just come out, just drinking a bit so far. One of them has a soft sided shell and it was not that way in November when he went in... What to do? Help. Bless you!

Your animal needs lots of calcium and sunlight (UVB rays). If that doesn't start to make a change soon, see a vet.
