Piglet can this be done with a mix of limestone and nutrobol? I am asking as i am concerned about how to get the neccesary into my tort but as he grazes outside this is proving to be very concerning only because i cant judge if he has taken it or not! So i thought this would be good if he ate it? Hope you can help you normaly can x Nicky

I seem to remember Darren telling me you could only use limeston flour for this, not a mix.

Alex the thing is its there if they need it sometimes its not used for months then suddenly you find a crumbled mess as someone has gnawed through it.
Nicky no don't use a mix one its expensive to waste the nutrabol and secondly the nutraol looses its vitamin content if exposed to the air for any length of time Darren

When I made Dug's Limestone Flour Birthday Cake, I poured the mix into the bottom of a paper cup, allowed to set then tore the paper cup away from the cake.
I would imagine the ice cube trays although giving perfectly sized block shapes, it would be difficult to get limestone blocks out without them crumbling!!!!!!!!!!! Ade
