It's been pretty often lately that I am finding calcium deposits in my girls cage. They always have access to oxbow Timothy hay and orchard grass blend. I feed green leaf lettuce and red leaf lettuce and green pepper as something that never changes and most of the time I also give endives daily when I can make it to our hyvee. I give half a cherry tomato probably 3x a week and add in a green bean, dill, radicchio, a different colored bell pepper, cucumber, zucchini, on a regular basis but its never alot of those items, I give a day or 2 in between and never at the same time because I've always been afraid of stones. Of course occasionally I throw in something extra such as a leaf of baby bok choy or a small piece of fennel. But for the most part I keep it pretty simple and sometimes worry I'm not giving them enough variety. I only give them bottled water. What could I be doing wrong? Can anyone help me with setting up a better diet with more variety that will get rid of these calcium deposits?
I was also thinking about switching them from oxbow garden select pellets to the Sherwood pellets because I've heard such good things but ive been afraid to introduce more calcium when they are leaving calcium deposits. Any help would be so appreciated! Thank you!
