Limestone flour is worth trying - you can either sprinkle it on their food or mix it with water and let it dry to make a sort of soft rock for them to chomp at. It's a pretty common animal supplement - you can buy it by the kilo at farm- or horse-supply shops, or in smaller amounts for tortoises and things, I think.

Well, I know it's available (if a touch more expensive) on eBay. Or - what kind of milk did you try? A variety of powdered forms should be available at a supermarket, you could sprinkle that on their food? I've not tried that but it's worth a shot  |
