Is it ok for a young turtles shell to brake
1 Answer
Published on December 1st, 2017
No, it is not OK, nor is it normal for the shell to break. This indicates there has been some severe trauma, or this turtle is not being kept under proper environmental conditions, nor receiving a proper diet. I hope you can have a qualified turtle specialist help you is providing the proper conditions so your turtle can thrive. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
