Hello everyone :)

I used to buy the Henry's Blocks but it seemed that my Tweegie used to eat some of it and would leave a lot of it until it got dried up and it would go to waste. I know it is supposed to be good for them but it is very expensive for my budget and since she used to not really eat it, I had to stop buying it.

Question: Is there another place to buy them less expensive?

I did the powder on her food (reptile) powder.
Now (for a while) I' am doing the Eko Terra Liquid Calcium Magnesium supplement for Reptiles & Amphibians in the water.
She also has deer antlers for calcium.
I also add Oasis Vita Drops High Potency Multivitamins for Guinea Pigs 25 mg Daily Vitamin C, Note: (the 1st one that I bought Vita Drops High Potency Multivitamins for Hamsters and other pocket pets)

I also bought from Exotic Nutrition a bag of Deluxe Squirrel diet and basically she only eats the few nuts and the main stuff (that looks like rabbit food) she will not eat it which is the main stuff in the bag.
Question: Can someone please:klunk suggest of other dry food to buy for her? (I have bought dry food for gerbils, hamsters, rats, even bird food, including the one that is just fruits and she doesn't like it).

I would really appreciate it.
Thank you very much.....:Love_Icon

Looks like you've got other calcium options pretty well covered there. Nothing is as efficient and reliable as the HHB's, though -- have you tried all the different varieties (Picky Blocks, Adult Formula, Wild Bites) to see if Her Highness will grace us with eating any of them? I know how difficult it gets, I have a princess here too.

One thing I do with my rehab squirrels who are coming up to release time is feed them 4 shelled almonds every day that have been coated with calcium powder --- the kind you buy from henryspets or any Calcium Citrate that's ground finely enough. I just put some in a Ziploc and shake the almonds around in it. They don't seem to mind the coating and this way you know they are also getting supplemental calcium.
