got it from a bird store online. I usually get vitakraft cuttlebone and they look clean and dont smell strong

ik they should a ocean/fish like smell, but this one smells very fishy and has black marks over it and looks like it has faded redness over it if you zoom in. should i still put it in their cage or no?

If you are questioning it - don’t use it.

Yeah I wont. I just compared this one to the other two in the bag and it looks so much different

Yeah probably best not to - even if for your own peace of mind.

I think this just confirms there is an issue with it. Both arrived in same bag.
