Calcium rich plants

[Spoonman]

Hey guys,am wondering what kind of plants are rich in calcium thats good for my hermmi tort.

I have red that torts need truck loads of calcium to be healthy.

I can forget about calcium supplements because there are non to buy in my town (checked three times),for now i use cuttlefish bone witch crush in to a fine dust and i put it on her food but am not sure that thats enough.

I live in europe just as a fyi.

I don't know if you'll be able to find some of the ingredients in this recipe in Kosovo, but one of our moderators wrote this nice article. I've tried it and the tortoises love it:

I think what you are doing will work just fine too.

If you can get some spineless opuntia cactus pads, those are really high in calcium too.

I read somewhere that drywall (the chalky sheets you put up in new buildings) is calcium. I have placed broken pieces of drywall around my tortoise enclosures before, but they never ate any of it.

Don't feed drywall. It's gypsum, not calcium.

And who knows what the bonding agents are...
