About the Natural Supplements
Tortoises need calcium to develop healthy shells. Breeding females need calcium to be able to produce eggs. As well as coming across lots of plants as food in the wild, dried old bones would be the main source of tortoises calcium. It is important that tortoise owners provide enough calcium and the best way of doing this is by giving it in a variety of ways.
Sprinkling natural Limestone flour on their food is a great way of ensuring that each tortoise receives a basic level. But providing cuttlefish gives the tortoise a chance to top up if need be. It seems some tortoises enjoy cuttlefish more than others. Some will scrape at it daily and others will leave it for months before having a little scrape. One tip is to make it even more attractive by rubbing a Dandelion leaf on it. Added vitamins like Nutrabal are also vital to the development of a healthy tortoise.
