no 1 is expert here. all just sharing experience n knowledge.

too much protein wont cause shell rot. shell rot is due to poor water quality which usually starts off with fungus. too much protein will cause upturn shell.

1 avg sized MP a mth may be better than once a day. just have those as treats instead of their main diet. their main diet shld still b on plant matter n pellets. u feed it 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon of pellets? i feed mine 1 handful every night.
