My baby sulcata will not eat food with calcium powder! However, he'll eat all the food around it. Any other sources for calcium?
Will not eat food with calcium powder

Cuttlebone. I prefer to calcium powder. Mine won't touch it for months and then they'll Chow down on it. I also believe that they know when they need calcium and I'd rather them choose when they want it, rather than me forcing them to eat it.

I have one in there for him and he's never touched it! Sometimes I scrape it on his food and he won't eat the food with it... does he have enough, maybe?
I'd leave the cuttlebone in the enclosure. Like I said, they'll not touch it for a long time and then I'll hear "crunching." They get calcium from there regular diet also.

Very true, but I still like using cuttlebone. I'm going to try eggshells though.
If they won't eat when you apply calcium powder, then you're applying too much. All it takes is a very tiny pinch between your thumb and index finger. Then take a fork and mash it all up to mix it in with the food so it can't be seen.
