Wow! What is it about cuttlebone that has my ornate so busy?! I put one inherent habitat and later I heard all this clunking and thumping. I was like what the?! I went to see and she is going to town chomping on her cuttlebone. This is the most active and determined that I have ever seen her. What is it about the cuttlebone? I figured she chomp it from time to time but this is really cool to watch. She almost seems entertained.

i have 6 box turtles an none show any interest in a cuttle bone so i use a calcium supplement i guess the cuddle bone didn't do it for them ?

The two boxies I raised from hatchlings both went crazy for cuttlebone as well. Which is great, as it keeps the beak trim as well.

All mine, adults and babies, all love it.

My Hermann's has always ignored cuttlebone. So I just hold it above her greens (which I have wetted) and scrape it with a knife so that the cuttlebone powder falls and sticks to the wet greens. She eats all her greens, so I get it in her that way.
