Good chance for recovery but there will always be a level of shell deformity. I would add in a good quality turtle pellet and some calcium supplementation for these guys. What are the plans for winter? I would have them in under a mercury vapour bulb myself for this winter at least. Check a faecal and some rads to assess mineralisation would not be a bad idea. General husbandry as for red eared terrapins let us know if you need us to elaborate on this. Goodluck</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/71364?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 10 Sep 2012 17:20:55 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:eaf800fe-df56-442a-937a-a630bcf6ba0bArlo Guthrie<p>bump</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
