How much should be used sprinkle on Greens?Is this a weekly practice or should this be added to every feed?
Hi there,

It's much prefered to put nutrobal on the food and instead leave a dish of calcium carbonate in the enclosure, along with cuttlefish bone for your tortoises to bite/chew on.
Putting calcium carbonate on the food alongside nutrobal, makes the nutrobal ineffective. There is a scientifical reason for this but I can't find the link at the minute. i'll let you know if I find it!
