Rep-Cal Calcium Without Vitamin D3, 3.3oz
Calcium deficiency poses a significant dietary challenge for captive reptiles and amphibians. Achieving a balanced calcium-to-phosphorus (Ca:P) ratio of 1.5:1 in their diet is often as critical as ensuring sufficient calcium intake. In many instances, the issue lies in an imbalanced Ca:P ratio rather than a lack of calcium alone.
Rep-Cal Calcium Without Vitamin D3 is formulated with 100% natural, phosphorus-free calcium carbonate sourced from oyster shells, providing a pure calcium supplement.
This product lacks vitamin D3, making it ideal for reptiles and amphibians housed with proper UVB lighting setups. Important: Avoid using this supplement for animals without access to UVB lighting!
Usage Guidelines:
For optimal results, combine Rep-Cal with the vitamin supplement Herptivite in a 50/50 ratio when dusting insects or preparing salads.
To coat insects, place them in a plastic bag with a small amount of calcium powder and shake gently until they are lightly dusted, avoiding heavy coating. Then offer them to your pet.
For vegetables or fruits, mix in about 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of powder per pound of food.
This supplement is free from added starch, sugar, soy, preservatives, artificial colors, flavors, or fragrances. Do not use if the tamper-proof seal is damaged or missing. Seek advice from your veterinarian for specific dietary concerns or guidance.
