Is it ok to mix the calcium powder with water? I want to put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray my tortoise's food instead of sprinkling the food with the powder. I really don't like how the powder gets all over Obi's face and shell.

I mix my vitamins and calcium in with wet mazuri to make sure my torts get all the supplement and no mess is made by the powders. I think mixing and spraying it would cause just as much of a mess as the powder alone. once it dries it will still be a powdered mess on your tort. Do you feed your tort cuddle bones?

It's pretty hard to make it mix in with the water. Sounds like maybe you're using too much. Just a little pinch between your thumb and index finger.
