If it's that small, it could be because it is very young, but I would still be concerned about the hardness. I would buy some calcium supplements to spray or sprinkle on its food and buy several cuttlefish bones to put in its enclosure. You can also break up the cuttlefish bone and mix it with its food to encourage calcium consumption, but usually if an animal needs something like this it will gravitate towards the source on its own. When i first got my juvenile sulcata it devoured parts of the cuttlefish bone like it was going out of style.
You also need to ensure that it has a proper light source, because that is directly related to their Vitamin D and calcium production. Make sure it is in a dry environment too. Shell rot occurs frequently in sulcatas if they are not kept in a dry hot environment.
