Hi! I went to the vet yesterday and he suggested giving my beardies ground-up eggshells instead of the usual calcium dust.
Is that safe? Is it a good source of calcium for them?
I just want to make sure before I do anything because I've seen a lot of conflicting information on this.
Thanks!
The information I've found on this is that egg shells contain bacteria and need to be boiled first in order to kill bacteria or you risk making your beardie sick. You can pulverize after boiling but I wonder why we shells were recommended instead of commercially produced calcium supplements?
