So I recently found out my baby is a girl. She is seven and a half months old. Now the thing is, she eats her calcium powder plain and I was wondering if this was unusual and if it means she is deficient in calcium, or maybe getting ready to lay eggs?
Basically I usually pour a little pile of calcium on her food rock and dip her worms in it before I tweezer them to her, so when I was done feeding her I would just leave whatever was left of the calcium on her food rock. Frequently I will come home and find powder all over her nose and beard, which I first thought was just from her walking through it, but then I saw her eat it! She will take about four licks of powder in a row, so I dont think it's just her normal exploring licks either. Is this normal?
