What does oyster shell grit look like?
« on: June 17, 2009, 12:57 »
I bought some oyster shell from a Uk supplier, and in the trip over the Channel the tub opened and i ended up with shell all over the inside of the package  :mad:

Anyway, upon closer examination, the "oyster" shell looks a lot more like common cockles than what I would have thought oysters looked like... have I been duped?

some cockle shells are sold as oyster shell, I googled it and it says it's ok to feed them but did read on here somewhere that proper oyster shell is better. The cockle shells look bigger pieces to me.
Staffies are softer than you think.
