Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is Banquet Cuttlebone a natural cuttlebone?

Ans: Zoo Med's Banquet Cuttlebone is a calcium-rich mineral block made with real cuttlebone powder, rather than a whole natural cuttlebone. Calcium sulfate is the first ingredient, followed by cuttlebone powder, flavoring, coloring, dicalcium phosphate, and vitamins, as listed for both flavors.

Q2: What flavors come in the Banquet Cuttlebone package?

Ans: Each package includes two cuttlebones: one Tropical Fruit-flavored and one Banana-flavored. The Tropical Fruit cuttlebone uses natural tropical fruit flavor and FD&C Red 40, while the Banana cuttlebone uses natural and artificial banana flavor and FD&C Yellow 5.

Q3: Which birds can use the Banquet Cuttlebone?

Ans: Zoo Med describes this calcium-rich mineral block as made for all pet birds. Its product page does not specify which size suits which birds, so ask an avian veterinarian if you are unsure whether the small or large size is right for your bird.

Q4: Does the cuttlebone help my bird's beak?

Ans: Zoo Med describes the Banquet Cuttlebone as an ideal beak conditioner as well as a mineral supplement for pet birds. If your bird's beak appears overgrown, cracked, or uneven, have it examined by an avian veterinarian instead of relying on a cuttlebone alone.

Q5: How much calcium is in the Banquet Cuttlebone?

Ans: The guaranteed analysis lists calcium between 17.0% and 21.0%, with moisture at a maximum of 2.0%. Calcium sulfate and cuttlebone powder are the first two ingredients in both the Tropical Fruit and Banana flavored cuttlebones. Zoo Med calls it a calcium-rich mineral block.

Q6: What sizes does the Banquet Cuttlebone come in?

Ans: Zoo Med offers the Banquet Cuttlebone in Small (3 ounces) and Large (8 ounces) sizes. Each package includes two cuttlebones in Tropical Fruit and Banana flavors, so choose the size that best suits your bird and its cage.
