For calcium what I used to do was to get a packed of dried anchovy and soften them in water prior to feeding them.
I guess it is better meal than calcium supplement given that anchovy are more palatable and high in protein too.

Anchovy have calcium based backbone too you know

Anchovy is not ' ikan masin' that people eat.Try to look at it this way,did you ever recall consuming anchovy that is salty.not me,well maybe a little bit
Currenty I'm not doing that, instead I took the opportunity when my mom bought a whole load of big sized anchovy(nope I'm not talking about the small one),I saw my mom peeling the fish into half and remove the bone(you will be surprise that you can actually remove the whole head with the skeleton intact).
After that,I collect the pieces and kept it in a tupperware and put it into fridge to avoid ants infestation.hehehe.feed like twice a week for calcium fortification.
Again,you don't have to worry that the fish is too salty,short of giving those really salty ikan tenggiri.
The smell of the fish is sure gonna be appealing to your turtle(not tortoise plz, don't confuse them okay)

well the fish's skeleton look delicate enough.this is up to your judgement really.I usually reserve the head for my adult turtle.

my smallest turtle is around 7 inches.I did feed it with softened anchovy a few time.(you could cut it to smaller pieces)
other than that,I usually give market prawn.really,the anchovy is only for calcium supplement.
saving up the cost.
other option is to give cuttlebone, which you can find in petshops

hi guys, got a question for you on turtle
I have been pumping my turtle with market prawn and recently I heard that it contain thiaminase.How true is that?can anyone confirm that?thanks

anyone there.I was wondering does feeding market prawn to turtle detrimental to the little fellow as I came across article mentioning thiaminase in prawn.

if your want to have more frequent water change

mine a cement slab too

look here I ain't a vet but if it's due to invaginated intestine.this is what you can do.take gauze soaked in warm saline and try to push it back slowly.don't force it
that isn't a pile.this here look too fleshly
try to reduce it ASAP as if it's the former ,delayed may cause permanent damage to the intestine.something like rotting away.
all the best
