Zoo Med Repti Calcium with D3, 8oz

Feeder insects often lack sufficient calcium, a vital nutrient for reptiles and amphibians. By dusting these insects with a calcium supplement right before feeding, you can address this deficiency and enhance their nutritional value for your pet.

Without proper UVB exposure, or if the UVB light source is inadequate, reptiles struggle to synthesize enough vitamin D3, which is crucial for their health. This deficiency can lead to severe conditions like Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD). Adding vitamin D3 through diet is a critical solution for reptiles that may not need UVB but still require it for survival.

Zoo Med Repti Calcium with D3 is a finely ground calcium carbonate supplement enriched with vitamin D3. Its precipitated form offers a unique structure for improved absorption and bioavailability. With a significant vitamin D3 content (22,907 IU/kg), it helps offset the absence of UVB exposure. Additionally, this product is phosphorus-free, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

Usage Guidelines:

Insectivores and Omnivores: Put feeder insects into a plastic bag with Repti Calcium and shake gently to coat them with the powder.

Herbivores: Mix about 1/2 teaspoon of Repti Calcium into food per 5 oz (142 g) of body weight each week.
