Calcium for RT's
«

I've read conflicting info on the best way to get adequate calcium to my RT's.
Is the best way to dust their food, or provide cuttlebone and let them self-regulate?
Thanks

The best way is to feed high calcium weeds, plants, greens etc an keep cuttlebone with them at all times

Thanks. Any particular cuttlebone best for turtles? I see some that are marketed as being specifically "for turtles."

The best is good old fashioned cuttlebone like they use for birds.
Avoid the flavored and gimmick stuff.
