best calcium suppliment?
 
Hi,
What calcium suppliments do you use for your tortoises?

I have 1 Hermann and 1 spur thighed both 5 years old, and I want to make sure I am giving them the right suppliments
When I got them I got given the Zoo Med Repti Calcium without D3. Is this ok?

They are fed on plants I grow in the garden, they also have cuttlefish bones in there indoor enclosure to nibble on.

they get the calcium on their food twice a week and they get weekly baths.

Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions :)

I use this it smells a lot better than nutrobol and my lot will eat all their food with it on as opposed to when I used nutrobol.

Nekton MSA, 40g vitamins, vit D3 - tortoise vitamins

Thanks for this Gordon. I was suspecting that Bertie could sense where I had put the nutrobol as he tended to go for the weeds without it on, or where there was very little. I found he would be more inclined not to be fussy when I put on dandelion flowers and this was how I made sure he had his dose. There is a definite smell and I wondered if he could smell it. Will try the supplement you suggest.

My female eats anything....
