Shedding turtle?

Hi, I have two sliders, about 18 months old, and recently noticed little pieces of shell in the bottom of their tank. They don’t have any holes in them or soft spots on the shells or anything that looks odd. They are eating ok and are still happy enough for me to handle – the only thing that has changed recently is the type of food I have been giving them. Could the shell coming off be a result of the food not being the right sort?? Would be grateful if you could help. Cheers Sexing a Painted Turtle 11/22/04 Hi, I have a 21 year old painted turtle that I adopted from I friend about a year ago. My friend claims that some time ago should found a small egg in the turtle’s aquarium and so she assumed that the turtle must be female.
