Hi all,
Wow it's been a long time since I've been on the forum. I need to update pictures of Pebbles!
So I've had Pebs for a little over two years now and everything has been going fairly smoothly, but I do have a concern in regards to calcium. I feed her a mixture of kale, dandelion greens, mustard greens, green leaf lettuce, on occasion spinach, (as far as her greens go, she also gets veggies and fruits throughout the week) and I do add the Repashy Supervitamin to her food once per week, as well as the Reptical calcium once per week. I've tried on numerous occasions to add both cuttlebone and the ZooMed Tortoise Calcium Block to her enclosure but she never seems interested and just walks over it. Is there a reason she is doing this? Could it be that she doesn't know what to do with it? Or could it be that she does not need to dose herself with extra calcium? I'm a little concerned because I do not want her beak to overgrow either and although it is fine now I know the cuttlebone/block can help keep their beak trim.
Thank you!
