You need limestone flour as well.

All my torts are still growing so I use a small amount of Nutrobol and limestone flour everyday.

Nutrobal has calcium in but not huge amounts, so people use limestone flour as well. i cover my tortoises food in it.

I sell limestone in my ebay shop, just sprinkle nutrobal and limestone flour on your tortoises food every day.

eBay UK Shop - Shelled Warriors: tortoise, tortoises, limestone flour

You can also get limestone flour from your local horse supplier.
