It's a while since you've seen him, or me for that matter, but I took Herbie out in the garden the other day for a photoshoot :) he is now about one and a half. He has a "complete diet" pellet diet which i thought contained enough calcium, perhaps not? I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if he's showing early signs of pyramiding and whether I can recover him (I only heard about pyramiding today so I don't really know) I put on a clear photo of his shell, and one just for fun, I hope they work. Herbie has missed having his photo up on the forum!
Regards,
Robyn

He looks in good health to me but even with an all in one diet, you still need to calcium cupplement his greens :) stick some Nutrobal or whatever calcium dust you use on his veggies etc :)

He is gorgeous btw!!
