Calcium

[Marisa_marie17]

I got elphaba a zoo med calcium block so she can get her supply of calcium she needs. She refuses to touch it. Is there anyway I can get her to eat it?

They very seldom with eat those blocks. Best bet is to feed calcium-rich greens and occasionally sprinkle a bit of calcium powder over the food. Maybe you can scrape the block over a cheese grater and then sprinkle the resultant dust over the food. Not too much, as they don't like the taste and won't eat if there's too much.

Ok thank you! I'll try grating it over her food. Do you know what types of greens are calcium-rich that I could try giving her?

Cactus and collard greens have a pretty good amount, if I’m not mistaken.
