cut out all treats for a week and don't let them free range - this will show if it is the pellets or not.
Staffies are softer than you think.

One of my girls has been laying soft shelled eggs and I have not changed anything so I have put it down to the unusually hot weather.  I have as joyfull said cut out treats to make sure she gets the right balance in her diet.
