What diet are you feeding it ? cabbage certainly shouldn't be included, unless in extreme moderation.
In addition to providing cuttlebone in the enclosure , a good calcium and D3 supplement should be sprinkled regularly on it's food. (Nutrobal, or Vionate is availabe in the UK, I think the U.S version is Repcal ?)

: I need some help with my Russian.She is 6 and a little while ago today i noticed that a little part of her shell above her neck had fallen off.I'm thinking it could be she does'nt get enough calcium because i have never given a calcium supplement.So today i got her some cuttlebone and sprinkled a bit on it's food and now she just ate a little bit of the cabbage and didnt eat any moreof it.Has any one got any ideas on what i could do about the shell?Also it is quite sharp at the edge so anyone got any ideas what i could do for that?This is the last question, anyone know any ways of disguising the cuttlebone
