Our boy RES is into biting everything. (Even our floating turtle dock which we had to remove because he wouldn't leave it alone. Had to come up with a different basking scenario) He ignores cuttlebone but LOVES those beak conditioner blocks found in the bird section of the pet shop. The flavor we bought is Fruit Cocktail. These are ok right? He's having the time of his life. (today right? God knows he'll get bored with it eventually)

Is it one of the following?

The one looks a lot like cuttlebone. I found this other website that lists the ingredients as: Calcium sulfate, artificial flavor (Banana, chery, strawberry, orange), calcium propionate, potassium iodide, color added (red #40), vitamin D3. Calcium (min) 20% (max) 24%.

I'm guessing that it's okay, it has a lot of calcium which is all that matters.

Yes - the top one, that's it. Thanks very much. I'll continue to let him bite away!
