I always have a large cuttle bone hanging in all the cages. The best way I've found to attatch them is to "thin out" a small rectangular area of the soft part with the tip of a sharp knife. this I do in the center of the bone towards the top. Thin it out about 3/4 of the way down to the "bone". I then stick the knife into the thin area and make two slits straight down and right through the "bone" about 1/2 inch apart. Use a large twist tie to secure it tightly through the slits and around two cage bars and twist tightly on the outside of the cage. They never come off - until the birds completely devour the cuttle bone.
During the breeding season, I give Calciboost, a rapidly absorbed, super concentrated liquid calcium/D3 supplement two to three times per week. Bob
