Question
Do you have to have some kind of calcium block in there home?

Answer
Calcium is a great addition to their diet. You can crush up egg shells, provide coral, but the cheapest and easiest is to use a cuttlebone, availabe in the bird section of your pet store. Break off a chunk or scrap off some white powder onto their food. Mine love cuttlebone of all kinds!
