It might have to much fat, i read in a book if the turtle is unhealthy and has too much body fat sometimes its legs and stuff with not fit in the shell...

might wanna go google or something....

i trust the librairy more, books are more trustworthy than some internet sources

Can you post a pic? It sounds like your turtle is overweight which is remedied by feeding every other day.
