It's chop making day today, and I recently heard that some people blend up eggshells and add it to some bird-related recipes as a source of calcium....
Would you guys reccomend adding it to chop, though? Not sure if I've ever heard anyone use them like that, should it only be added to baked recipes?
I don't have any more cuttlebone on hand and I just want to make sure my little gremlins are getting all the nutrients they need...

I don't add either to be honest!

Dark leafy greens, chia seeds, sesame seeds, and almonds are all good sources of calcium, so I use those (as well as feed some pellets). Some other ideas:
