I hope that everything works out ok for all of you.
As for the calcium, try adding a little powder to the greens mix, that might work but it doesn't work here.
I have to always give that on live bugs because if they smell it in their salad mix, they won't eat it. They are finicky enough as it is when it comes to salad mix. I don't want them learning to refuse that so we do powder only on the bugs.
I like that Janie will eat it on nightcrawlers it's so extremely easy to get the powder all over a wet nightcrawler.
With crickets only Shell E & Charity will eat those so I give them powdered crickets in the bathtub, crickets can't get away from them there.
With the lobster roaches.. it's much harder I have to disable them because they can get away no matter where they are.

One way or another I get vitamins & calcium powder into the turtles every week.
We just have to be creative with how we do it.
I so hope all your turtles do well from now on.
Keep the updates coming.
