Haven't tired it Stella. I believe it's a good calcium source but I'm not sure if it's any advantage over limestone flour.

I might get some and give it a go next payday!!! They have the cuttlefish which they love but the limestone flour tends to be a walk through.......I haven't seen any eat it and I am getting to the end of the supply. If this stuff works better I may abandon the limestone flour X x x. Hugs x x

I use cuttlefish, chalk and a "cake" made from lime flour (limestone flour mixed into a paste and let to set in an ice cube tray). As recommended by the breeder they came from.

I figure give them a few options and let them help them selves anyway.
