If need be, you can also soak it in water with marine salt. But I doubt it's that serious to require marine salt for now.

My cute cute pnt

Haha. V cute kept in a pond?

Hi Fellow pNT Lovers.
I recently had a little PNT shipped to me and have falen in love with these cute little animals. I have however noticed that the left rear part of his shell has a slight curve to it. I am wondering if there is anything i can do to get it back to its normal position ?
He is eating hikari carnivore pellets,white bait,prawn,figs and algae wafers.

I'll presume that u are from the states right? Shouldn't be a prob as ur PNT is still a juvenile it will straighten up as it ages.

Remove carnivorous pellets, white bait and prawn from its main diet. Those can be given occasionally as "snacks".

Fruits like grapes, banana, apple, kiwi, etc... vegetables like watercress. Their natural diet is mainly figs and fig leaves. I feed mine mainly on nutrafin turtle basix and hikari algae wafers.
