Feeding and Nutrition :: calcium powder

[Daniel3507]

ive given up on cuttlebone. i can never seem to get the backing off so i decided to start using calcium powder on the food. question though is what kind is a good kind? ive seen rep cal with multivitamins, rep cal with d3, flukers brand, and i have no idea what is best. also, how should i go about dusting the food? do i need to get it wet first? thanks for the help

I use the rep cal with D3. I just poured some into a reptomin container and I shake the pellets before I feed them to my turtles. It leaves a fair amount of dust on them, some of which will wash off, but since I store the pellets in the powder I hope enough seeps into the crevices to make a difference.

That's a good idea...I might try that.
