We get our eggs from a local organic farm, and I use the eggshells to supplement my torts' calcium. I administer the eggshells in two ways:
- whole eggshells in the enclosures
- powdered eggshells on their food
It seems that there's no absolute consensus on calcium needs in tortoises, beyond that they need it; so my questions are:
- is 1-2 times enough (they all get a varied diet that includes Mazuri or Zoo-Med 1-2 times a week)?
- my Redfoot Darwin loves the eggshells... can she (I think) get too much calcium?
Thanks,
Jamie
