Hello everyone
I was wondering if any of you have heard , or anyone have seen a desert tortoise eating caliche(CaCO3) ? I have a friend that has a couple of desert tortoise he told me that he gives them pieces of caliche , sometimes he will make caliche dust for the tortoise, i havent found any info about tortoise eating caliche, if they do it probably will be a great source of calcium for them i think but also caliche can be really hard to crack sometimes..
What do you guys think? Posible? or my friend its crazy ? (wich wil not suprise me at all )
