I used to take the backing off and break the bone into small pieces for my hatchlings. Now that the turts are older, I take the backing off and throw the whole bone in.

I cut the backing off, and just pinch it in my fingers, my turtles are between 3 and 4 inches, i break it into pieces about the size of a tic tac or jelly bean and toss em in, and dont even try to get it too sink lol, youll be expending unneccesary effort!
