Sepia shells

Brief description of cuttlebone:

Cuttlefish shells are the back bone of squid. The main material of the cuttlefish is aragonite (chemically a calcium carbonate, i.e. lime). It also contains many other trace elements. The cuttlefish shell is one of the best natural sources of calcium. We take great care to ensure that the shell has been thoroughly washed by the manufacturer so that the stored sea salt is completely washed out.

Cuttlefish shells are rich in calcium and other important minerals. Particularly useful for birds to support bone and feather growth, for aquarium inhabitants such as snails, but also for other invertebrates during moulting. Sepia is a natural source of calcium, especially in terrariums, and ensures healthy growth and smooth development of the chitinous shell.
Simply place small pieces of cuttlefish shell in the cage or in the aquarium or terrarium. Please remove the pieces of shell from the aquarium after a few weeks as they will start to rot. Birds should be given cuttlebone permanently! Our cuttlefish is also ideal for turtles, as they need a lot of calcium for their shells. Birds also use the cuttlebone for beak care.
