calcium supplement

[jhigh81]

Does anyone know where I can find online a good calcium supplement to sprinkle on his greens? I found this one online: TNT Total Nutrition for Tortoises, but it is kind of pricey, which I dont mind as long as it is worth it. I want to make sure he has the best nutrition possible. Does anyone have any experience with this? Here are the ingredients:

I Just Buy cuttlebone For 50 cents to a dollar a stick, and once a week sprinkle it over it my little guys greens!

Do you crush it up or something? I bought one and put the whole thing in his enclosure but I dont know if he has nibbled it or not.

I use cuttle bone both pieces and ground up .25 cents a piece at my local feed store, plus I always check the clearance section at most chain pet stores they often have some on clearance 25 to 50 cents piece every so often.
