Creating shell

I keep losing dwarves to moods when they can't get any shell and they go nuts.

I have a lot of raw turtles in barrels. I also have tons of other foods. How do I get my dwarves to eat the turtles in particular and create shells?

Dwarves won't eat RAW turtles, or any other raw fish. Queue up the "Process raw fish" task at a fishery to make them edible, and you'll have shell in no time. Also, remember to sign your posts on these Talk pages, yes? Yes. --Zombiejustice 17:12, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
On a slightly related note, I wish there was a way to designate which foods should be eaten. Having the dwarves eat the meat I'm trying to cook, but not the turtles I'd like the shells from is a pain. --Ehertlein 17:39, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
Get a legendary cook who can cook the meat faster than you can produce it.Gandalf the Dwarf (No, really! Look it up!) 20:10, 12 November 2008 (EST)
This isn't terribly useful. The dwarves have the same issue, only they eat the cooked meals instead of the turtle. --ThunderClaw 22:58, 12 November 2008 (EST)
Forbid all other foods.--Seaneat 04:38, 27 September 2008 (EDT)

a) Do not cook the Turtle. Cooking destroys the shell and bones. b) The way I handle it ... b1) bring some turtle on embark. b2) upon arrival, go zo Stocks (z), selct kitchen, and set Turtle to cook: NO. b3) Create a stockpile outside the fortress, to hold (unprocessed fish) raw turtle and (meat) Turtle, and optionally cave lobster. b4) next to the kitchen, create a storage area for all other types of fish. b5) Create a stockpile for refuse: Bone, Shell, Skull. Dwarves will then sometimes grab a prepared turtle or lobster to eat, which will leave bone and shell behind. Samyotix 09:14, 13 November 2008 (EST)
