How much cuttle bone should be offered to the turtle and also how often? Thanks in advance!

It should always be available, I just peel off the backing and toss in the whole thing. Once it is mostly gone, I get a new one.

Hmm ill try it but my lil guy just devours it the second i put it in the tank. It cant make him sick if he eats to much at once?

No, they can't get to much calcium. Anything his body doesn't need will pass through him.

My turtle also likes to play with the cuttlebone (besides eating it of course). He'll try to climb on top of it and it usually floats under him and behind him which he immediately starts chase around the tank. Really cute
