Calcium deficiencies occur readily in exotic species such as reptiles and birds. Nutrobal is a vitamin and mineral feeding stuff providing a high potency calcium source. Nutrobal also contains vitamin D3 in sufficient levels to mobilise the calcium provided. Reptiles can have complicated dietary requirements that can’t always be met in a domestic environment, but in most instances these deficiencies can be met by vitamin and mineral supplements.
Nutrobal comes in powder form that can easily be added to the food, including being dusted onto live food such as crickets, locusts and mealworms for insectivores, and will optimise the health of your pet reptile when given at the correct doses. The Calcium:Phosphorus ratio is extremely important in ensuring healthy bone growth in reptiles, and supports the reproductive function with a potent Ca:P ratio of 46:1.
It is not only insectivores who will benefit from our high calcium supplement, larger reptiles (including crocodiles) fed on a mainly meat diet will also benefit greatly from the additional support for normal bone development. Growing tortoise and turtles need calcium for their shells, without it they can experience calcium related deficiencies such as pyramiding of their shells.
