Rep-Cal Calcium (No Vitamin D3)
Calcium deficiency is a major dietary problem of captive reptiles and amphibians.
Maintaining a proper calcium:phosphorous (Ca:P) ratio in the diet of 1.5:1 is believed to be just as important nutritionally as an adequate Ca intake. The problem in most cases is an improper Ca:P ratio, not too little Ca. Ca:P ratios of common cultured food items are shockingly poor:
- Crickets -calcium 0.13 -phosphorous 1
- Meal Worms -calcium 0.06 -phosphorous 1
- Wax Worms -calcium 0.08 -phosphorous 1
- Pinky Mice -calcium 0.89 -phosphorous 1
Rep-Cal contains only 100% Natural phosphorous-free oyster shell Calcium Carbonate for its calcium source.
Dosage: Mix with vegetables, fruits and pastes approximately 1/2 to 1 tablespoon per pound of food.
To coat insects:
- Place insects and calcium powder in a plastic bag.
- Shake slowly until insects are completely covered.
Contains no added starch, sugar, soy, preservatives, artificial coloring, flavoring, or fragrance.
