my turtles are 2 months old and i never had 1 b4 and their shells feel a little soft, is it because there babys or r they unhealthy???

and 1 keeps on steeling the other 1's food T-T

my turtles can get reely hungry but their turtle pellets are hard so when i feed them they try to eat the rok hard pellets, they cant bite it so they giv up and dont eat -.-

Soft shells are generally not a good thing. How big are they? Try adding some sort of calcium, like a cuttlebone for birds. Just pull off the hard outer coating.
