I was reading this and have found in other threads recommendations to supplement with MinerAll, I was looking for it on Amazon and it says it is for insectivorous reptiles and amphibians, but as it is recommended here it shouldn't be a problem to give to a sulcata given that she is not an insectivorous reptile?Tortoises eat rocks as a matter of course. A rock here or there is nothing to be concerned about. If the poops start looking like half gravel, then you might want to raise an eyebrow.
A weedy, high fiber diet, and supplementation with "MinerAll", will usually deter excessive rock eating. People who primarily use grocery store greens and a calcium supplement can expect to see more rock eating behavior.
If I'm remembering correctly it cones in two kinds, insectivores and plant eating.I was reading this and have found in other threads recommendations to supplement with MinerAll, I was looking for it on Amazon and it says it is for insectivorous reptiles and amphibians, but as it is recommended here it shouldn't be a problem to give to a sulcata given that she is not an insectivorous reptile?
Indoor with D3 and outdoor with no D3 is what you are remembering.If I'm remembering correctly it cones in two kinds, insectivores and plant eating.
Not a problem. Its just minerals. It was invented to "dust" crickets and other food insects before feeding them to insectivores, but it works great for balancing out mineral content in herbivorous reptiles that are eating a lot of grocery store produce too. There are no insects or protein sources in it.I was reading this and have found in other threads recommendations to supplement with MinerAll, I was looking for it on Amazon and it says it is for insectivorous reptiles and amphibians, but as it is recommended here it shouldn't be a problem to give to a sulcata given that she is not an insectivorous reptile?
