Calcium Carbonate

Post by Jerry » Tue, 31 Aug 2004 12:42:50



I have been purchasing cuttlebone for my tortises.  Looking to find a
source of calcium carbonate powder in a 50 pound bag.  None of the
feed stores in my area carry it...the closest thing they have is
fragmented oyster shell calcium for chickens.

Anyone know where this can be found?

Try health food stores, often time they carry Calcium Carbonate, and many
will special order large quantities.

From everything I have read, you are supposed to use calcium without
phosporous.  What junk are you selling anyway?
