Description
Description
This product is integral among reptile vitamins as calcium is vital for proper shell growth, bone strength, and metabolic functions in reptiles. By placing the block directly in the water supply, it slowly dissolves to maintain consistent calcium levels without the hassle of daily supplements.
The Zoo Med Slow Release Calcium Block, marketed as Dr. Turtle, is a specialized calcium supplement designed to support the shell health and overall well-being of aquatic turtles and reptiles. This slow-release block not only provides a steady supply of essential calcium but also conditions the water, creating a healthier aquatic environment for turtles.
Formulated with calcium sulfate and magnesium chloride, Dr. Turtle is safe for aquatic life and ensures optimal mineral absorption. The block aids in preventing shell deformities and other calcium deficiencies, especially when complemented with UVB lighting and heat, which enhance vitamin D3 synthesis for calcium metabolism. This product is perfect for turtle keepers who want a convenient and effective supplement that integrates seamlessly into their turtle’s habitat maintenance routine.
