    I have always washed and microwaved cuttlebone,along with washing the seeds with running water then a phase of quick boiling water then a couple of minutes in the oven to dry it out of moister . A lot of people don't believe what I am doing is necessary that's why I am glad I found out about you
    . love this man. So how often should I give the morniga powder

    Your good manual is of help to me. Thank you so much!
    I made the mineral block by following your manual, but I think the mineral block is weak for Major Mitchell's. That is easily broken by them. So, I'd like to know how to make the mineral block harder. if I put more Plaster of Paris, will the mineral block be harder? Please advise me about that.
