I’m always concerned that my Morty isn’t getting the right amount of calcium.

has anyone tried the calcium blocks? I've heard of people using cuttle bone (I think that’s what it’s called), thoughts on that?

I'm pretty sure quite a few of us use cuttlebone. I also use a small pinch of calcium powder over the food a couple times a week.

How do you do that?? ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Crack an egg and throw in the Shell and let them go to town lol. You can grind the Shell in a coffee grinder and sprinkle it over their food too but I don't go thru all that.

When our Sully was really small i used to put a moistened mazuri pellet or two in an egg shell. Our Sully would eat the Mazuri & the shell. Later on, i just switched to a cuttle bone every month or so.

About to start repurposing those egg shells! I sprinkle calcium but my Sulcata doesn’t seem to eat much with it
