I found this company that has small sized Himalayan pink salt licks for:
$0.95 ea plus 9.5% WA Tax
http://www.saltminearium.com/
There are a few different sizes. All the prices seemed pretty low to me.
That also have an etsy presence, but, it's best to contact them directly, as the shipping rates listed on etsy are much too high. (salt is heavy)
The owner was more than willing to work with me directly about shipping to help get the best rates.
I found their customer service to be very good. The salt blocks are assembled in Pakistan, which kind of makes sense because that is where it's mined. They are quite irregular but seem solid.
The cords will need replaced with wire if I want to attach these to my cages.
I had a problem with my compressed salts falling apart in the high humidity.
I was also worried about the salts corroding the wire, and felt a more solid salt block might work out better for me.
I haven't been able to find out much conclusive about the mineral content. The study posted on Wikipedia states that the mineral content is higher than other salt, but it's still mostly just sodium chloride.
I do not know if these could replace the compressed mineral block chunks we usually use for natural feeding.
Akane, if you know of a good study, could you link me?
Chubby kit is for size reference. :lol:
