Calci-Dust

A high calcium dusting powder

Calci-Dust is a pure, natural calcium-provider compound feed for reptiles. It has been ground superfine for maximum digestion, and to stick to all food; fruit, vegetables, even crickets and mealworms. For healthy bone growth animals must have vitamin D3 available to obtain calcium from their food.

In diurnal reptiles (those awake during the day) which bask this may be made in the skin by UVB from specific high-quality bulbs, or it may be included in a full spectrum multivitamin product like our Nutrobal or Arkvits supplements.

Basking species receiving UVB may need vitamin supplementing less often (we recommend alternate feeds). If you are using Nutrobal, you may wish to use Calci-Dust and Nutrobal on alternate days, particularly if you do not need the additional vitamin D3 every day, or for tortoises that are growing to minimize the risk of shell deformities.

COMPOSITION

Calcium carbonate.

ANALYTICAL CONSTITUENTS

Calcium 40% - Crude ash 99%.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER USE

A pure, natural calcium provider compound feed - ground superfine for maximum digestibility and to stick to all food, vegetables, fruit, even crickets and mealworms, etc. Calci-Dust is normally added to food at a rate of 1 pinch ( about 1/8 of a teaspoon) per Kilo of animal being supplemented.

For healthy bone growth animals must have vitamin D3 available to be able to obtain calcium from their food. In diurnal reptiles (those awake during the day) which bask this may be made in the skin by UVB from specific high-quality bulbs, or it may be included in a full spectrum multivitamin product like Vetark Nutrobal or Vetark Arkvits.

Basking species receiving UVB may need vitamin supplementing less often (we recommend alternate feeds). On the non-Nutrobal days, our Calci-Dust is used to maintain calcium supplementation.

For the more crepuscular or nocturnal species (awake at dawn & dusk or nighttime) which obviously do not bask, it is necessary to give Nutrobal or Arkvits daily.

Adult animals perhaps only receiving Nutrobal 2-3 times a week can be supplemented with Calci-Dust on the other days.

For animal use only
