 Many people wonder how they can get enough calcium to their turtles and tortoises, with it being difficult to find high calcium vegetation, from high calcium soil. ZooMed has come up with a solution, which should be considered. Recently, in a podcast I listened to on the Reptile Livingroom (from http://reptilelivingroom.com/2011/07/andrew-quinn-of-zoo-med-talks-new-products/), I found just the solution for you. It is called the Tortoise Banquet Block, which contains calcium, plus it is designed to keep your per from having an overgrown beak. Call ahead to your petstore to see if they have this, or another similar product.
See details below:

Opuntia cactus, vegetables and alfalfa make this a great way to offer diversity to your tortoise's diet. - Great source of calcium, Spineless Cactus, and other vegetables.
- Provides enrichment as your tortoises chew the block to get the food inside.
- Helps to prevent overgrowth of your tortoises' beak.
