Is there such a thing as a tortoise eating to much of a cuttle bone? My sulcata is about a year old and its old cuttle bone didnt have much left of it so I bought a new one and the tortoise has ate about a 1/4 of it in about 24 hours. There is plenty of romain lettuce and some yellow squash in with the tortoise. Its like the tortoise cant get enough of the cuttle bone. Any input would be great. Thanks for your time.

No, too much cuttle bone won't hurt him.

I asked that same question and I too was told that too much won't hurt them. My Cooper loves his!

I wish mine would be addicted to cuttle bone! It just sniffs and walks off.
