Zoo Med Repti Calcium without Vitamin D3

Repti Calcium Without D3 delivers ultra-fine precipitated calcium carbonate with a high surface area per gram for optimal gastrointestinal bioavailability. Formulated entirely phosphorus-free and without harsh oyster shell impurities, it is specifically engineered for species with regular exposure to high-output UVB lighting who synthesize their own Vitamin D3 naturally.

Key Features

• Ultra-Fine Precipitated Calcium: Features a specialized micro-grain shape with an expanded surface area per gram to maximize absorption across the digestive tract.
• 100% Phosphorus-Free Formula: Restores an optimal mineral balance by eliminating excess phosphorus, preventing dietary calcium from binding or failing to absorb during digestion.
• Zero Vitamin D3 Formulation: Contains 0.0% Vitamin D3, making it the ideal calcium source for diurnal basking reptiles and outdoor-housed species that synthesize their own D3 via natural or artificial UVB gradients.
• Free of Impurities & Oyster Shells: Sourced without marine oyster shells to eliminate the risk of heavy metal contamination and coastal pollutants.
• Superior Powder Adhesion: Micro-milled powder forms a fine, even coat over live or pre-killed feeder insects and fresh greens without clumping or sliding off into the dish.

Husbandry/Care Specs

• Insectivore Dosing (Geckos, Chameleons, Monitors): Place feeder insects in a plastic bag or dusting cup with a small pinch of Repti Calcium and shake gently to coat. Feed approximately 12 dusted crickets weekly per 2.5 oz (71 g) of body weight.
• Herbivore Dosing (Tortoises, Uromastyx, Iguanas): Mix approximately 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 cc) of Repti Calcium into fresh vegetables or chopped greens weekly for every 5 oz (142 g) of body weight.
• Omnivore Dosing (Bearded Dragons, Box Turtles): Apply via the insect-dusting or salad-seasoning method depending on your pet's specific dietary rotation.
• Multivitamin Integration: Can be used safely alongside a dedicated reptile multivitamin, provided the secondary supplement does not contain added calcium or Vitamin D3 to prevent over-supplementation.
• Guaranteed Analysis: Moisture (max) 1.0%, Calcium (min) 38.0% (280,000 mg/kg), Calcium (max) 43.0% (430,000 mg/kg), Vitamin D3 0.0% (0.0 IU).
• Ingredients: Precipitated Calcium Carbonate.
• Storage & Handling: Keep the container tightly sealed and store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and humidity to preserve product efficacy. For animals with pre-existing health considerations such as kidney issues, consult your herpetological veterinarian prior to regular supplementation.

Compatibility/Enclosure Synergy

• Best Suited For: Diurnal reptiles and amphibians with high-intensity UVB access, including Bearded Dragons, Leopard Geckos, Chameleons, Tortoises, Aquatic Turtles, and Box Turtles.
• UVB Lighting Synergy: Perfectly paired with high-output linear UVB lamps (such as T5 HO 10.0 or 12.0 fixtures) that allow animals to naturally process calcium without dietary D3 accumulation risks.
• Growth & Maintenance: Provides dependable, clean skeletal support for growing juveniles and healthy adult maintenance across insectivorous, herbivorous, and omnivorous diets.
