I had kind of the same problem with my baby too. the shell wasn't really soft though, i just noticed that I could push on the back and it would felx a bit. I was told to get some calcium suppliments and protein for him. I also started using vitashell. The calcium was actually a power that you mix with their food before putting it in the food in the water. For the protein I got the baby shrimp treats. All three products are made by Tetre Terrafauna and are pretty inexpensive. I noticed that you will get slightly faster results if you apply a thin coat of vitashell and keep the turtle out of the water for about 10 min so it can soak in. Good luck and keep us posted.
