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?

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
