Bread is NOT part of a skeleton’s natural diet and feeding it to them can make them sick. Instead try: coins from countries that no longer exist, dead batteries, ballpoint pens, or brass buckles. These are much closer to what skeletons eat in the wild :)
I live in a coastal region and I generally feed the local skeletons with broken seashells collected during low tide, which are high in calcium and other natural minerals. Very occasionally, such as for celebrations such as last night’s solstice, a shard of broken ancient pottery makes a great treat, but be careful, as these are sometimes cursed, and may cause issues for some skeletons.
Our local skeletons really like corks. And they go bonkers over tinfoil, but I haven’t been able to find solid info on if it’s a safe treat for them or not.
The ones out here keep eating each other and I’m not sure what that’s about but it can’t be good. Anyone else having this problem with their local skeleton population?
They need calcium! I’d take a leaf out of mctreeleth’s book and let them nibble some tasty seashells. If you live way inland, your local feed store should have oyster shells (for chickens,) or you can give them egg shells from your breakfast : )
