You could just put it in a little bowl in their enclosure or as you said you can make blocks of it... I'm sure there is a sticky somewhere explaining how to make them although I haven't tried myself.

Hi Oli
Blocks are easy to make and store. Just put some limestone flour in a bowl and put just enough water in to make a paste (not too runny). Then put this into an ice cube tray and leave it overnight to harden off. They can be stored in an airtight container and put around the torts enclosure for them to nibble on when they want. Mine have phases on whether they eat it or not! Does anyone know if there is any value in adding nutrobal to the mixture? Hope this helps Pat |

If you grow your own weeds, you can put limestone flour in the soil, it tells you how to on the SW Shop webpage
