Yes, the egg shell powder is for calcium to replace bones. I'd rather not use it, but when I was pulling chicken frames out of the freezer Friday night, I only pulled enough to make the cats' pork and chicken mix. I sort of forgot to pull extra bones out for Tangent's turkey mix.Is the egg shell powder instead of bones?
I have a feeling the 9 lbs of cat food I made Wednesday isn't going to last a whole week like I'd hoped...
Bones are better because the calcium is in the exterior "boney" part, and their are lots of minerals in the bone marrow "innards"...so I'm losing some valuable mineral content by using egg shell powder. Must. do. better. next. time.
