galvinkaos said:Yvonne, how about cuttlebone in the enclosure for them to eat when they want? Would you sprinkle their food occasionally too?

Personally, I don't sprinkle any of my tortoises' food with supplements. Every pen has a cuttlebone in it. Sometimes they eat it, most of the times it stays whole and untouched. In my opinion, if they are eating the cuttlebone, I wouldn't sprinkle the calcium supplement on their food. Bear in mind that some foods are calcium-rich. I have TNT, but have never used it. Some people swear by it and don't use any other supplements. I tend to err on Nature's side and just allow the tortoises to be tortoises. If I notice a problem occurring, then I will address that particular problem individually, but I think we all supplement too much.
