How do you feed cuttle bone?

Do you grind it up? Break it pieces? Just stick the whole thing in there?

I've seen it done all of the above ways. :) I put a small piece at a time in addition sprinkling ground cuttlebone on their food. The small pieces make it last longer.

I stick mine in the substrate like a surf board

I do the surfboard method. It's fun watching them use their claws on it :D

Thanks everyone! I've dusted it and broken it up, but they don't seem to touch it. I'm going to try the surf board method tonight!
