Default Cuttlefish bone!!

My tort has grown to love his cuttle fish bone and now he's eating it all the time!! could he eat too much of it (should i take it out after a while?)
I also put nutrobal on his food, so i wondered if he's havin too much calcium?

No you can never over dose on calcium
Why not offer him a bowl of limestone flour.
