It does not require additional supplementation with vitamin and mineral supplements.Use of Gecko Cream in practice You can prepare the mousse by mixing 1 part of the powder with 2 parts of water at room temperature. At first the mixture may seem too loose, but it will thicken after a few minutes. If you need a thicker mousse consistency, use less water. You can prepare a larger portion and store in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container for up to 5 days. Feed adult animals 3-4 times a week. Feed young animals and breeding females daily at will. For nocturnal species feed in the afternoon and evening, for diurnal species feed in the morning. Remove all uneaten food after 24 hours.

Rep Calcium +D3
Nekton Rep Calcium + D3 is a high-quality calcium supplement for reptiles and amphibians that supports optimal bone and muscle development. Enriched with vitamin D3, it promotes the absorption of calcium in the body and thus contributes to a healthy skeletal structure and an intact metabolism. Especially for reptiles kept in terrariums, a regular supply of calcium and vitamin D3 is crucial to avoid deficiency symptoms such as bone softening or deformities.
The powder is easy to dose and can be sprinkled directly over the food or added to the drinking water. Nekton Rep Calcium + D3 is an ideal supplement for all reptile species that have an increased need for calcium, such as tortoises, geckos and agamas.
Advantages:
Optimum calcium supply: Promotes healthy bone and skeletal development and supports the muscular system.
Enriched with vitamin D3: Improves calcium absorption in the body and ensures optimum utilization.
Prevents deficiency symptoms: Reduces the risk of calcium deficiencies that can lead to health problems.
Easy to use: The powder is easy to dose and can be added directly to the feed or drinking water.
High-quality composition: Specially developed for the needs of reptiles and amphibians.
Zoo Roco tips:
Correct dosage: Pay attention to the recommended dosage depending on the species and age of the animal to avoid overdosing.
Combine with UVB lighting: Vitamin D3 needs UVB radiation to be optimally processed. So provide good UVB lighting in the terrarium to maximize the effect of Nekton Rep Calcium + D3.
Feeding frequency: Sprinkle the calcium supplement 2-3 times a week on the food or in the drinking water, depending on the animal's needs.
Combination with other supplements: In some cases, it may be useful to combine Nekton Rep Calcium + D3 with other nutrients your pet needs, especially if a special diet is required.
Handbook of forage plants 2nd revised editionMarion Minch is not only a successful breeder of diverse tortoises for many years, but also an excellent connoisseur of native wild herbs. She founded and runs samenkiste.de, which is well known to many tortoise keepers and nature lovers. Her name is inextricably linked with reptile care and species-appropriate nutrition for tortoises. Her handbook of food plants summarises the most important native food plants for herbivorous and omnivorous reptiles. She not only considers tortoises, but also iguanas, spiny-tailed dragons and even chameleons. From the basics of plant biology to native wild herbs to suitable food plants for hardy tropical reptile species, this comprehensive work provides the basis for species-appropriate keeping. In the expanded and supplemented 2nd edition, the plant section is divided according to flower colour. This makes it even easier to identify wild herbs. The work has also been supplemented with a wealth of additional information and many pictures.
