jessdecutie18 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Rearranging Yoshi's cage yesterday, I realized that I have had a piece of cuttle bone and a banana flavored mineral block in there for months now. Yoshi once nibbled on the cuttle bone a bit, but hasn't since then. Never touched the mineral block. Perhaps I should just take them out? Yoshi eats veggies and pellets, mind you she doesn't eat a ton of them. I've heard that you can grate up cuttle bone and sprinkle it on wet foods for added nutrition. I wonder if it's the same with the mineral block... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I had the same issue with Dayo. A mineral block was in his cage for 6 months...untouched. I just took it out. Cheese is a good calcium source and most greys seems to cherish it. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Dark leafy greens like Chard, Spinach and Kale are a great source of easily digested and metabolized calcium. Some cooked grains added to the diet like Quinoa and Millet can fill those needs nicely as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I have mineral blocks in my fids' cage that are also untouched. With all good foods they get, I don't worry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
