Liquid calcium supplement

[AliciaB]

Has anyone ever used a liquid calcium supplement for there tortoise? If so pros cons? I swear my torts eat around the powder.

I used to use this recipe posted by Kristina, but got out of the habit and forgot all about it until your thread:

As to the powder - I mash the powder into the wet food until it's all wet, then mix it up so they can't see it.

Would that be good for hatchlings also?

 

[Yvonne G]

Yup.

The spray will work. A bit less calcium, but honestly, that probably isn't a problem. The powder tastes "blechy". I have a three toe that could find a tiny dot in his food and stop eating. The spray he tolerated fine.

Couldn't they taste it?
