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. Breeding birds sometimes encounter laying issues such as soft shell, and this is a direct cause of a lack of calcium in the diet. The Calcium:Phosphorus ratio in Nutrobal is essential for maintaining birds in breeding condition, supporting the reproductive function with a potent Ca:P ratio of 46:1. The potent calcium levels, enabled by the vitamin D3, are hugely beneficial for healthy bone development in birds.
For reptiles, birds and rabbits. Nutrobal can be added to food at a rate of 1 pinch (about 1/8 of a teaspoon) per Kilo of animal being supplemented. It is also suitable for dusting onto crickets and other live foods for insectivores.
