Soft shell

You have a sick animal. This sounds like metabolic bone disease. The best thing would be to take your pet to the vet.

You will also want to be sure your pet is getting enough calcium. That means it has to have access to UVB light daily. The vet may find other issues as well.

Keep it slow and steady.
