Red Eared Slider Hatchling Soft Shell

by peckster, May 13, 2008 09:48PM
I have a Red Eared Slider hatchling. He was born a few months ago and his shell is usually flexible. He basks for a few hours a day and i have a heating lamp in there and when he is his shell is firmer after basking. I did a little research and i heard mostly that it is due to an insuffient diet. I have tried almost all foods except for live food and the only thing he will eat is lettuce! Any suggestions?
