Thanks a lot! I'm going to try the feeding on top of the cage thing. They do have a cuttlebone, but I smash it in a bag with a hammer and mix the seed with it. They get their calcium and don't even know it Also, Alex is on Calcium Glubion everyday and the vet gave me a pretty big bottle. When I go in on Friday I'm going to ask if she should take it for the rest of her life. There's enough in this bottle for a year I bet. She only takes .01 cc's a day.
