Calcium/Cuttlebone Question

Posted by PATMAN on September 27, 2001 at 07:04:36:

Hi,

I've had my Hermann's hatchling for a week now and have been feeding her a varied diet of clover, grass, dandellion, and greens from my grocer. Each time I feed her everyday I add Rep-Cal to her food, is this the correct thing to do at each feeding. I understand that calcium is not a supplement but a true part of their diet. I also put a piece of cuttlebone in her pen and she chows down. Should I let her eat as much as she wants or just let her take a few bites? She really seems to like it and I wasn't sure if too much of it might not be good for her. Thanks.

Patrick
