: I am not a tortise guy, I am into snakes but my sister has a yearling marginated tortise that needs help. The tortises shell is soft, not like a pillow, but u can push it in a little. Maybe it is not getting enough calcium or something? Can u give tortises food that is dusted with calcium like u would give a leopard gecko? Other than that it is in very good shape. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello, it is normal for a yearling testudo or any other tortoise species that age to have a slightly soft shell. You can feed tortoises food that are dusted with calcium on their food, just like geckos.
Good Luck,
Sharif
