Feeding and Nutrition :: Sepia bone?

[gdesigner]

Is a cuttlebone the same as a sepia bone? My pet store only has sepia bones. They look the same so I bought them.

It appears to be another re-packaged cuttlebone product (like Turtle Bone). Cuttlebone for birds is the same and probably cheaper. Just remember to remove the hard backing in all cases.

Yea the sepia bone packaging has turtles on it. Also I just read an interesting fact that answered my question, it appears sepia is the family that cuttlefish comes from.

Quote from wikipedia.
"Sepia is a genus of cuttlefish encompassing some of the best known and most common species. The name of the genus is the Latinized form of the Greek σηπία, sēpía, cuttlefish."
