Cuttlebone
Does cuttlebone lose it's nutritional value after a while? How often should it be replaced?

Re: Cuttlebone
Since it's calcium and mineral salts, it stays good until it's eaten.

Re: Cuttlebone
I've noticed if you wet it (which this was by accident) it turns like mushy idk but that's the only time my crab was actually eating it for a while ..... random post

Re: Cuttlebone
I've had some stay solid and some dissolve in water. I don't know what the difference is myself.
There's been chunks floating around my turtle tanks going on six months now, and are still solid.

Re: Cuttlebone
Mine loved it at first but then lost interest. I wondered the same thing...did it lose some of its properties? I dunno

Re: Cuttlebone
If you just leave it in the tank, they will go back to it when they want it. I just poked it into the sub and left it. It has been gradually getting smaller in size, so I know they do eat it. I need to get a new one next time I am in the city!
