Torn shell
(idk if this actually posted but I think my reddit freaked out so I'm sorry for the multiple posts if it has happened)
Okay, I made a post earlier about my nails soft shell. Sheila is still refusing calcium so I got this snail food mix and despite lifting her very gently from her hiding place, her shell tore. It's so fragile and squishy.. immediately bubbles started coming out which I imagine is a protective mucus layer. She's refused calcium straight up and I swear I hardly see her eat despite generally giving her fresh fruits and veggies. I put her in with a dry and wet option but she's just crawling over it and isn't eating.. genuinely what do I do? Will she heal it herself? Can she? I know they use extra calcium to help fix areas in the shell but she literally doesn't have any extra because she doesn't eat it. So is there a safe way I can help her shell that won't hurt her slime coat or her organs and body? She used to have a wood hide in her cage but I took that out just in case. I don't want her to fall and hurt herself.. would she be better on no substrate while she heals like a lizard would be? I genuinely don't know what to do here
