Have you tried mixing it with calciumcarbonate, as nutrobal has a strong smell/taste for some?

I got an ice sugar shaker for my nutrabol, and then sprinkled it from a high height- it gives it a light dusting.

I have had the same problem. Marika will not eat any food sprinkled with Nutrobol and would rather starve...she's very stubborn!

I've found the only way to get the stuff down her is hand feeding pieces of cucumber with the vitamins on. Believe me when I say this is the only way as I have tried everything!!

Try a favourite food, wet it so the nutrobal sticks, and turn it over, so that the nutrobal is on the underside - your tort may not be able to see/smell it.
