Hi there,

My husband is of that opinion too, so hides the crushed shells in yoghurt or mash!!! I dont think it encourages cannibalism, but would stand corrected by a grape expert (!) ..... We did have a Welsummer who was an egg eater. Its a nightmare, (she also picked on my Marge mercilessly and we rehomed her in Cheshire on a farm - we even got sent pictures!!!)but this time we have had no problems, and they do have the eggshells.
