If turtle shell is soft, it means calcium deficiency and the protective effect becomes weak. In the daily feeding process, if you want to harden the turtle shell, you must pay attention to calcium supplement. Besides adding calcium powder in feeding, you can also feed some shrimps at ordinary times, which can also play the role of calcium supplement. In addition, pay attention to the sun, which is helpful for calcium absorption.
