Feeding and Nutrition :: Turtle won't eat cuttlebone or Jello Shots

Moisten the pellet, apply the calcium and let it dry. Instead of putting it in the water, place it somewhere dry when your turtle takes it... either by hand, on a basking dock or a plastic spoon.

Thanks for letting me know how to do it.

What kind of the calcium do you suggest steve? Or does that not matter? I intend to go to Petsmart this weekend.

[steve]

Rep-Cal Calcium or any that does not have phosphorus. There's also one with D3 that you can skip, provided that you have a UVB lamp.

I have a mercury vapor bulb. I'll take a look for Rep-Cal. Thanks Steve.

To defrost them just run them under hot water till they pop out of the container
