Won't eat calcium

[Macy Fidler]

My baby sulcata will not eat any food with calcium on it, this is just now becoming a problem. Is there any alternative way to give him calcium? I am providing it already through cuttlebones & calcium powder.

Is he eating the cuttlebone

Feed foods that are naturally high in calcium.

Make sure your tort can eat first before feeding, I'm not a pro

You might try putting less calcium on the food. They don't need a lot of supplement. You can always feed it more often as long as they are eating. Or, if you feed Mazuri or one of the other pelleted foods, you can easily hide the taste of calcium in it.

Thank you so much!! And no he isn't

All you need is a tiny little pinch. If the food is all coated with it, they tend to shy away.
