Vic Morgan pointed it out to me when I first aquired my Mtn Tortoise. I usually see him post in the "general tortoise" forum. He seemed to get a kick out of telling me about it... I hope that I didn't steal his thunder here....Dope..My bad!



I usually use Repcal calcium with D3, but have thrown in some Tums. I used a file to grate them into dust, as I was unsure if it would be safe to just throw in "chunks".



Anyway, if you know who Vic is, he can help you with the Tums question much better than I can. I think he's been doing it for a while.
