Arry 18,250 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Not sure if my memory is right here but I think somebody on here said once when something like this cropped up once before. Think he said feed a calcium supplement that they feed birds. Really not sure about it though. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post
beany01 223 Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 I had this with a couple of kits. I put calcium powder on their feed for a couple of weeks and they were fine 1 Quote Link to post
