Maybe a little but it shouldn't, once they get a bit older make sure it's not soft apply a uv light or feed them gourmet aquatic turtle food which has crude protein crude fat crude fiber moisture ash and phosphorous feed them about a teaspoon of it and they'll be fine. Oh and feed them every other week and DON'T over feed them.
