I have just bought the Nekton MSA. I also use the tortoise world calcium mix, they seem to prefer it to limestone flour.x

The Nekton MSA arrived yesterday...instructions in German

Do I give the same amount as I would Nutrobal? and...it does have quite a strong smell to it (bit like strawberry) is this normal?

Thanks

Thanks so much, I have had my torts on Nekton MSA now for a week dusting both pellets & salad mixetc and they dont even smell it they just dive in.
Therefore I can highy recomend it with regard to not putting them off thier food. I wait with keen interest as to the results health-wise.
thanks
Sue

Mine arrived with German instructions too! I've tried translating it but not much luck I'm afraid, can anyone tell me how much and how often to add it please?

A very light dusting daily for growing tortoises. Slightly less often for adults.

Yeah I got nekton msa with german instuctions too.

Naturalis Chris advised its the same amount as neutrobal i.e. very small quantity.

Mine does have a smell but not unpleasant.

My tortoises eat stuff with nekton msa on it. But I suspect they know it is there.
