Providing access to calcium is vital for maintaining proper growth and long-term health in tortoises. Cuttlefish bone allows animals to consume calcium naturally as needed, helping to support strong shells and prevent deficiencies.
Its rough texture also helps to wear down beaks, reducing the risk of overgrowth while encouraging natural chewing behaviour.
For best use, cuttlefish bone can be broken into smaller pieces and scattered throughout the enclosure. This promotes natural foraging behaviour and provides enrichment as tortoises explore and feed at their own pace.
Cuttlefish bone is also commonly used with isopods to support exoskeleton development, and can be used for pet birds as a natural calcium source.
