TLDR Review: Penn Plax E2 Cuttlebones
Verdict
The Penn Plax E2 Natural Cuttlebones might be a good choice for canaries and larger birds that require a calcium source and beak maintenance. However, if you are specifically looking for genuine cuttlebones, especially for smaller birds like budgies, you might want to consider alternatives as this product is a compressed blend that lacks the qualities of real cuttlebone. The softer texture and uniform size might appeal to some, but the chalky residue and crumbling could be issues for others.
- Top pro:
- Provides adequate calcium for birds and helps keep their beaks trimmed.
- Top con:
- Not made of solid cuttlebone but is a compressed powder blend, leading to dissatisfaction.
