Living World Cuttlebone
Living World Cuttlebone is a market-leading natural option prized for its simplicity — a low-cost, long-lasting calcium source and beak conditioner that requires no mixing or measuring. While it lacks the concentrated nutrient profile and added vitamins of formulated products like Zoo Med or Versele-Laga Calci-Lux, its financial advantage is immediate: very low per-bird cost and minimal maintenance, making it ideal as a continual baseline supplement. Technically it provides slow-release calcium through natural aragonite, which many owners prefer as a complementary, mechanical source alongside powdered supplements.
