Am I missing any of the needs for Avery? 4. What is a proper diet for baby painted turtles, is it the same as adults? 3.
Is the soft shell normal? I have its UVB light on all day, although I turn it off at night. I've checked for rotting and pyramiding, but there are no signs of either.
Avery is two weeks old, and its shell is slightly soft. It has calcium supplements, and I'm doing the best I can with it, as I've never owned a turtle before. I have UVB lighting on her basking rock, and keep the temperature at 80 degrees. I have a baby painted turtle named Avery, as of now I'm not sure of its gender.
