Chalk?

[jodieinacoma]

Where do people usually get chalk for torts? I'm not sure if this is a silly question but can I give them this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wild-Countr...8&qid=1395268349&sr=8-10&keywords=chalk+block

It's not really chalk, it's cuttlebone...the skeleton of the cuttle fish. You can find it in the bird section of any pet store. It looks like this:

I have cuttlebone for them, that isn't what I meant I found out it's natural limestone chalk which some people give them as a good source of calcium and some torts really enjoy it. But thanks for your reply anyway!

I wouldn't use the climbing chalk. I would find a good REPTILE chalk

I know Ken was talking about limestone somewhere around here a while back. Maybe he can shed some more light on it [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Yeah I realised this after that it can't be just any kind of chalk haha. I was a bit clueless though because I was just told chalk was good for tortoises and I thought of your general sort of chalk and was like... really?! Haha!
