I got 2 baby red eared sliders, and their shells are kind of soft, should i be worried?

i just got them, and i don't know if they're suppose to have soft shells. i noticed when i accidentally held one of them by one side of their shell, and i felt that i was able to squish its body by pressing on its shell. and also, they're not eating. should i be worried?

i think that babies have soft shells that harden when they grow older, but im not sure.


if they arent eating, what are you feeding them? try giving them some fruits and veggies
Reply:i used to have two baby red eared sliders and their shells wern't soft. i don't think it is normal but you could check on some turtle websites and if they say its not normal of course you should go to the doctor. ~good luck~
Reply:All baby turtles have soft-shells and are very sensitive, so be careful not to drop them or hurt them because the shells are soft.
