Rep-Cal Calcium (with 0% Vitamin D3), One Gallon

Great for breeders & Zoos. Rep-Cal Phosphorus-free ultra-fine calcium powder without vitamin D3 in an ultrafine powder. Calcium deficiency is a major dietary problem of captive reptiles and amphibians. Maintaining a proper calcium:phosphorous (Ca:P) ratio in the diet of 1.5:1 is believed to be just as important nutritionally as an adequate Ca intake. The problem in most cases is an improper Ca:P ratio, not too little Ca. Using a calcium supplement that also adds phosphorous makes no sense as an adequate Ca:P ratio can never be achieved. Bone meal contains phosphorous. Rep-Cal contains only 100% Natural phosphorous-free oyster shell Calcium Carbonate for its calcium source. Dosage: Mix with vegetables, fruits and pastes approximately 1/2 to 1 tablespoon per pound of food. To coat insects:1) Place insects and calcium powder in a plastic bag.2) Shake slowly until insects are completely covered.Contains no added starch, sugar, soy, preservatives, artificial coloring, flavoring, or frag
