Ok so i bought the zoomed repti-calcium powder at petco yesterday because i had realized that i didn't have a calcium supplement for him (i feel terrible). I put some on his greens this morning but it kinda clumped up when i added it. First Question: is that supposed to happen/does anyone else notice that happening? Second Question: if this is bad, what other supplement should i go with (i saw a spray)

It probably got some moisture into the jar. You are only supposed to use a 'pinch' between your thumb and index finger, so when you have it between your fingers, just rub back and forth to make it into a powder. Then mix it up on the greens. I doubt the jar is bad. You can still use it.

You should just be using a tiny pinch and you should be mixing it all up with the greens so that the tortoise can't even tell it is there.
