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.
