Shells

[Linnea]

I bought new calcium powder today from the same store as last time, there is no particular brand on it as i think they make it themselves. its also very very cheap.

so, i bought the usual one with only calcium this time since i think litchie might be getting too many vitamins otherwise. the colour of the calcium is a bit orange though....

then i looked right next to the calcium powder, and saw something that was crushed seashells.
the pet store owner told me i can put a small bowl of this in the terrarium for the skink to eat if it feels like it.

so, what do you guys think? i bought it since it was as cheap as the calcium powder, and since it sounded interesting, so i wont be hurt if you say its crap xD


on another note. how is fresh hay as bts food? we have so much of it in store, its high in fiber too.....

Its like how snail shells are full of calcium. So your just feeding the shell. I have only heard of people using snail and cuttle fish shell/bone.

Ive been thinking after you mentioned it before, and is it shell grit/ calgrit?

(Sometimes its pure white also)

Its often sold for chickens and birds as a calcium source, but Ive heard way to many horror stories about torn necks and crops from sharp edges that I dont use it. However, blueys eat snail shells ok...

it definitely looks like that, but a bit smaller(rounder) pieces.
