How should I prepare???
So I have read that they can have egg shells for calcium, but I don't know what to do to prepare them. Most of their supplies I've been boiling, including the cholla wood. I have a feeling if I boiled the egg shells they would disintegrate. So can anyone help me by letting me know how to prepare the egg shells?

I just give them a rinse and put them in. Sometime I put them in as is, they seem to like the clear lining when I do. Sometime I crumble then. It just depends.

I don't like handling raw egg shells, so I always use the shells from hard cooked eggs. When I peel a couple of eggs, I keep the shells in a zip lock baggie and use them as needed.

You can even make a crabby scramble with eggs. Fry an egg up using organic coconut oil and crush up the shell in it! Unlike people the crabs don't mind shell in their eggs!
