Just wondering what the procedure is for giving cuttlebone to juveniles?

You can either just lay in on the floor of the habitat, soft side up, or you can grate it over their food.

Great if you have lots of cuttlebone but no pure calcium supplement on hand. It's really soft on one side so easy to do with a butter knife.

I break the cuttlebone into smaller pieces for our young redfoot,
I find it gets pretty grundgy sitting in that high humidity.
She may go a few weeks before she touches it but then decides she needs some.
Funny little creatures.
