Low protein pellets are available...you can mix them in with the reptomin and feed pellets every other day.

Turtles which don't like veggies can be converted by offering boiled carrots and boiled leafy greens.

Somthings which may lessen the shell deformities are correct temps, proper lighting such as real sunlight uvb bulbs (my turtle is really enjoying is mercury vapor bulb) and space...give your turtle plenty of swim space to encourage proper muscle and bone growth as well...if your turtle is just a year old you can stop the shell from getting worse...good luck:)
