Calcium Supplement for Reptiles
Calcium is vital for bone growth and maintenance, muscle function, and metabolism. When blood calcium levels are low—a condition called hypocalcemia—an animal may suffer muscle twitches and lethargy. Low blood calcium can also lead to metabolic bone disease; to compensate for blood calcium deficiency, the body may utilize stored calcium from the bones to maintain blood levels. This can be serious problem for growing reptiles, causing poorly developed or soft “gumby” bones that are prone to fractures. Long-term calcium deficiency can also lead to secondary hormonal problems involving the parathyroid glands that help regulate calcium levels.
Apply Calcium Supplement by misting any reptile food (including crickets, mealworms, mice or vegetables). This proven formula is readily absorbed into virtually any reptile or amphibian's bloodstream, assimilated directly into bone tissue. In extreme cases, three drops applied directly to a pet's mouth will help treat common calcium deficiencies.
