Zoo Med Repti Calcium with D3, 8oz

Feeder insects often lack sufficient calcium, a vital nutrient for reptiles and amphibians. Dusting these insects with a calcium supplement right before feeding enhances their nutritional value, ensuring your pet receives a balanced diet.

Without proper UVB exposure, or if the UVB light is inadequate, reptiles struggle to produce enough vitamin D3, which can lead to severe conditions like Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD). Adding dietary vitamin D3 through supplements supports reptiles that may not need UVB to thrive in its absence.

Zoo Med Repti Calcium with D3 is a finely ground calcium carbonate powder enriched with vitamin D3. Its precipitated form offers a unique structure for better absorption and bioavailability. With a substantial vitamin D3 content (22,907 IU/kg), it helps address UVB deficiencies. Additionally, this product is phosphorus-free, optimizing its effectiveness for your pet.

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 weekly for every 5 oz (142 g) of body weight.
