What i will do if my turtle had signs of having metabolic bone disease??
Signs***
-discoloration of the shell
-slightly soft shell


and his one part of carapace peel off...
putang ina!!

Try to include more calcium and Vit. D3 in the diet. What does he eat? Does he bask under either a UVB light out out in the sun?

Can you post a pic of the shell dry? Discoloration and a slightly soft shell (how soft?) do not necessarily mean that your turtle has full blown MBD.

How many scutes peeled off?

i give him cuttle bone but he doesn't eat it at all..
i do let him bask under the sun..
how often?
everyday..every 30mins..

how to post pictures??

Shedding scutes is a normal occurrence for turtles.

You let your turtle outside every thirty minutes every single day?

How/where is the shell discolored?

If that's the turtle in question, from the pic, s/he looks fine to me. Where is there a problem with the shell?

Hatchlings often have slightly pliable shells, especially in the back area above the tail. How soft is the shell?

You need to resize your avatar.

@marisa what's your email address?
so I can send you his picture.

I can easily bend his shell mostly near the tail.
And it's so thin.
Is that normal?

Thanks!Ü
