You don't do anything. Their shell is suppose to shead scale by scale, and if it is not then you need to go to the pet store, and if they don't have the medicine to help the turtle shead then you can just get some vasiline, and rub it on the shell...(top and bottom)

Yes, turtles can feel when you touch their shell. The shell is connected to their nervous system, so they can sense pressure and movement on their shell.
