I keep a cuttlefish bone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuttlebone) in my leopard tortoise's tank for him to gnaw on if he wants. He completely ignores it, but today my beardie was exploring and got curious about the tortoise's tank. I let her in to explore, and she spotted the cuttlebone and got really interested in it. She licked it a few times and then bit a couple chunks off it. She seemed to really like it.

I don't want to use it as a replacement for calcium powder supplement (even in the tortoise's tank, I supplement his food), but are there any issues with keeping a bone in my beardie's tank too? Could it end up being too much calcium if she really likes it?

It’s been a month since I’ve joined bd.org! It feels like it’s been longer than that, but I’m glad I’m here and apart of this lovely community!
I can feel her staring into my soul demanding food
She was having a staring contest with a mealworm. I guess I never taught her to not play with her food, lol.
bro went to bed already, it’s 10:36 pm
Definitely going to be using this image if I ever catch a fence lizard again.
