Posted by The Fluker's Team on Jul 31st 2024
In captivity, reptiles need daily vitamins and minerals in their diet to stay healthy and avoid health problems. Fluker's makes sure we provide products that will sufficiently help you take the best care for your reptiles! You can sprinkle our Calcium Powder, Phosphorous, and Repta-Vitamin on feeder insects such as crickets and mealworms. These supplements are beneficial for your cold-blooded pet's diet.
Our Liquid Vitamin and Calcium supplements are essential for your reptile's health and longevity. They provide all the necessary nutrients your reptile needs. Ensuring your reptile receives these supplements will help them live a healthy and long life.
Reptile Vitamin with Beta Carotene
Fluker's Reptile Vitamin with Beta Carotene is important for keeping your reptile healthy and full of energy. This product is a multi-vitamin that contains beta carotene, essential vitamins, amino acids, trace elements, and minerals. These best sources of vitamins and nutrients are necessary for their good health. It contains potent color enhancers to bring out your pet's natural beauty and help them live longer, healthier lives.
To feed, place enough Reptile Vitamin in a plastic bag or container with feeder insects. Shake gently until you coat all insects and feed immediately.
For mice, dip hind quarters in calcium (use separate container). You can also mix this product with vegetables and fruits. Use one tablespoon per pound of food and use daily.
Repta Boost Supplement
Repta+Boost High Amp Boost is a supplement that gives immediate energy and hydration for reptiles and amphibians. This formula provides energy for new animals, young animals, growing animals, reproducing animals, and animals on restricted diets.
You can also use Repta+Boost long-term as a critical care formula for malnourished and dehydrated animals. Some pet reptiles and amphibians may not be getting all the nutrients they need from their food, so it's important to add supplements. Nutritional supplements help minimize deficiencies and diseases.
Repta+Boost is a complete supplement. It provides protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and minerals. This sets it apart from regular vitamin and mineral supplements.
To use, weigh your pet to determine the amount of Repta+Boost it will require. (If you do not have a scale, refer to the general weight reference on the back to determine your animal’s dosage. To mix Repta+Boost, refer to Table 1 for directions and dosing volumes.
Always mix with warm water (80-85˚F). Using cooler water could reduce the body temperature of the reptile, creating additional stress.
Pull the correct amount of Repta+Boost into the syringe. You may have to dose (re-fill the syringe) an animal several times depending upon its body weight.
Place the dose syringe to the mouth of the reptile or amphibian and gently infuse the Repta+Boost. If the animal does not lap the solution, then gently open the animal's mouth with the tip of the syringe. Do not pry the mouth open as you may break the animal's teeth or injure its mouth.
Once the mouth is open, gently instill the solution. The glottis, or opening to the airway, lies on the floor of the oral cavity. Do not introduce liquid into the airway, as it can lead to aspiration pneumonia.
You can use stainless steel or red rubber feeding tubes with a dosing syringe. This allows you to give Repta+Boost directly into the esophagus or stomach.
You can split the total number of calories into 2-3 meals per day. Use Repta+Boost until the reptile is eating and drinking on its own. If the animal does not show any improvement after 7-10 days, consult your veterinarian.
