Cuttlebones

[Donna/Turbo]

I am so excited. I found the recipe here on line and I made them last night. I came home from work today and Turbo had been munching on it. I didn't think he would really like it!! Makes me feel good to cook for my Turbo!! I know I am weird!!

Nowt weird about that. Bet that made you feel good, the fact he ate it.

Very cool. Btw, if your not at least a little weird, you wouldn't fit in here. We don't mind and we understand the love of a tortoise and the excitement it brings

Great job!

Not weird at all. Making him a sweater would be kinda weird.
That's simply very thoughtful!

What is it you made? Also wheres the recipe, I think we all enjoy our pets being happy as a cause of our actions, nothing strange!

For anyone that wants to make them it is super easy. There is a forum on it. Go to the top and type in "Cuttlebone Recipe". I ordered the food grade calcium carbonate online. It was pretty cheap and I found someone that was free shipping. I used a cup of Calcium powder (I added a little bit of shredded sweet potato for added flavor) and started adding tiny bits of water until it was super thick, but I could still form it in the mini cupcake pan. I baked it at 200 for an hour. Took it out and left it on the counter over night. Put it in his enclosure with breakfast and when I came home he had been munching on it. Very Easy.
