Cuttlefish Calcium

I ordered Bob some cuttlefish bones on Amazon which I have added the link to below. There was some info on different powders for calcium which you can add but tortoises wouldn’t have access to these powders in the wild. So I said I would stick with the bones after reading they lick white things a lot thinking its calcium. Not two seconds after I had given him a bit of bone about the size of a postage stamp, he went to town on it. Once you get passed the fact that he is eating bone and the crunching sound his beak makes as he bites and scratches it, it’s not so bad and its giving him the calcium he needs which is good enough for me. I’ve also put a picture of him with it. Till next time, all the best.

Soon to be out and about

The last few days have been slightly sunnier than normal so I am hoping that we will have a good hot summer. Ireland isn't ideal tortoise climate but I’m hoping for a nice hot day to take Bob to the park so he can walk around, eat stuff and explore. I’ll put up an update of some more pictures in next few days.

So far Bob has gained a little bit of weight and grown a little bit too. Soon I'll take proper weights and measurements.
