They only cuttlebone I've ever found here in the UK always has it's shell.
It's not realy that difficult to seperate it from the calcium.
I usually break the whole cuttlebone in half, then into quarters. This makes it easier to handle .

: : : First take your clean cuttlebone & remove the hard shell/exoskeleton, using a knife or similar object.
: : : (THIS MUST NOT TO BE ATTEMPTED BY CHILDREN).
: : : Then proceed to cut up the cuttlebone into managable chunks for your tortoise.
: : : Dispose of the shell, do not allow your tortoise to consume this as it could cause severe damage to the insides of the tortoise.

: : : Pic tell the whole story.

: Does all cuttlebone have that outer shell or does it sometimes come already removed?
