Cuttlebone Eco-Grade – natural & resource-saving – mixed cuttlebone pieces as a natural calcium source for invertebrates such as isopods , millipedes & co. for the terrarium.

Cuttlebone is the practical form if you don't want to display minerals in just one spot: you can distribute the pieces throughout your setup, creating multiple "mineral points." And because cuttlebone is a natural product, not every piece looks the same. That's precisely what Eco-Grade is for: less pretense of aesthetics, more naturalness – full functionality.

What is sepia?
Cuttlebone is the inner calcareous shell of the cuttlefish. In terrariums, it is used as a natural mineral source – primarily because of its high calcium content.

Why is cuttlebone important for invertebrates?
Many invertebrates use minerals like calcium as building blocks – for example, for their shells/exoskeletons and growth. Cuttlebone is provided in the terrarium as a "self-service" mineral source, allowing the animals to access it as needed.

Why Eco-Grade makes sense:
Natural: untreated, unpolished, genuine natural product
Resource-saving: less sorting = less waste
Invertebrates don't care about appearance: what matters is that it is used.

Application:
Simply place a few pieces in the terrarium or offer them separately as a mineral source. Replenish as needed. If the pieces get dirty, you can easily rinse them and reuse them.

Eco-Grade Notice (important):
Natural mix means: different piece sizes, colors and textures. Natural discolorations, patina, broken edges and visual variations are normal and intentional – not a defect in function .

Composition:
100% cuttlebone (natural product)

Analytical constituents:
Crude ash 92%
of which calcium 41%
Humidity 8%

Contents:
Net weight: 100 g

is the best way to offer cuttlebone in a terrarium?
You can distribute the pieces throughout the terrarium (creating several mineral stations) or offer them as a fixed mineral spot. This allows the animals to help themselves as needed, depending on their location.
Do I need to replace cuttlebone fractures when they get dirty
No. You can simply rinse off light soiling with water and clean with a soft brush if necessary. Replacing or adding more items is usually only necessary when they are significantly worn or if you want to replace them for hygiene reasons.
What does "Eco-Grade" mean for cuttlefish bone?
Eco-grade means: natural and not pre-sorted. Patina, color variations, and visual irregularities are normal – the function as a mineral source remains the same, only more resource-efficient due to less sorting.
