My Russian tortoise isn't...

When I sprinkle the calcium supplement he seems to just move the food around. That being said I'm not sure how much of the supplement he's getting. Is this something I should worry about?

They don't like the smell/taste, so you have to use a small amount. You can take a slice of cucumber, drop a tiny bit of calcium powder on it, then mash it in with a fork. The cucumber smell should mask the calcium smell.
