White teeth
Hey everyone,
I've noticed that my chins' teeth have gradually become whiter over the past few months, and if i'm not wrong, should be due to a deficiency of calcium. But not too sure about how to supplement the calcium deficiency.. and would like to get some pointers.. (I'm feeding them mazuri pellets and APD hay, and every cage has a calcium block.) |

I am giving all my chins Osteocare (liquid calcium). They sell it in Watsons.
Be careful, calcium deficiency can leads to fits. I lost 2 chins due to that. ![]()

Be careful not to overdose as too much calcium will cause stones. Everything must be in moderation.

I give around 0.2cc per chins per feed once a day until until its teeth is yellow again. Then reduced to twice weekly.
