My tort won't eat food that I put calcium on. Should I put the powder in his soak? He has a cuttlebone he chews on.

You can, but not sure how well the powder will work. You can get liquid calcium for the soak though.

If he's nibbling on the cuttle bone, that should be sufficient. All you need is a tiny little pinch of the calcium on the regular food. If you mix it in well he shouldn't even know its there.
