I'm trying to make homemade calcium blocks. Am I supposed to dilute the strength of the calcium carbonate by adding other ingredients? Or is the straight food grade calcium carbonate ok?ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1457829278.910741.jpg

They're not super hard which was part of my problem. The consistency is that of milk chocolate. I want them harder to help file their beaks.

I mixed the power and water to a pancake batter consistency and baked at 225 for 45 min. Maybe I need to bake longer to make them harder?
