Trixie Sepia cuttlebone for birds and small pets 11 cm, 40 g, 50 pcs

Trixie Sepia cuttlebone for birds and small pets 11 cm, 40 g, 50 pcs is a natural source of calcium and trace minerals designed to support beak and skeletal health in a variety of companion birds and small animals. Each 11 cm piece weighs approximately 40 g and is supplied in a pack of 50, offering long-term access to an abrasive, mineral-rich substrate that encourages natural gnawing and preening behaviors while helping during moulting and egg formation.

Advantages

The cuttlebone provides a readily available source of calcium and other minerals in a natural, easily accepted form. Its firm but workable texture helps maintain beak length and edge integrity through regular abrasion, supporting natural grooming routines. Being a single-ingredient, minimally processed product, it is free from additives and suitable for integration into typical aviary or small-pet housing. The compact 11 cm size fits most cages and perches used for parrots, budgerigars, finches and similar-sized animals.

Suitable for

• Parrots and parakeets (for beak maintenance and mineral supplementation)
• Budgerigars and finches (to encourage natural gnawing and preening)
• Small companion birds during moult or egg laying (as a calcium source)
• Other small pets that benefit from a mineral supplement and abrasive surface

• Length per piece: 11 cm

How to use

Mount the cuttlebone securely inside the cage or habitat using a clip, holder or by wedging it between suitable perches so it remains stable during use. Place at a height accessible to the bird or pet to encourage regular contact and gnawing. Replace individual pieces when they become significantly worn or soiled. For simultaneous use by multiple animals, provide more than one piece to ensure access and to reduce competition.

Usage recommendations

Offer cuttlebone as part of a balanced feeding and care routine; it is a supplementary source of calcium and minerals and should not replace a complete, species-appropriate diet. Monitor intake during egg laying or rapid growth and consult a veterinarian if you observe unusually high consumption or signs of nutritional imbalance.
