JBL PROTERRA TORTOISE FLUID - Liquid multivitamins for tortoises
For a healthy and vital tortoise life
The species-appropriate keeping of tortoises requires a balanced diet with all essential nutrients.
JBL PROTERRA TORTOISE FLUID is a specially developed multivitamin complex for all tortoise species that optimally supplements their food.
Why are multivitamins so important for tortoises?
✔ Prevention of deficiency symptoms: Supports the immune system and protects against vitamin deficiency-related diseases.
✔ Easy to use: Simply add a few drops to the food, allow to absorb and feed.
✔ Optimal nutrient supply: Dry food often does not contain all vitamins in full concentration - regular supplementation promotes long-term health.
Perfectly adapted for tortoises
Contains two 10 ml dropper bottles with valuable multivitamins.
Supports growth and shell formation, especially in young animals.
Ideal in combination with a varied, fresh diet.
Good to know: Did you know that vitamin A is not only essential for healthy eyes, but also for a functioning respiratory mucosa in turtles? A deficiency can lead to serious respiratory problems!
Use JBL PROTERRA TORTOISE FLUID to provide your turtles with an optimal supply of nutrients - for a healthy, long life! 🐢✨
Animal species: Broad-shelled tortoise, European tortoise, Greek tortoise, Indian star tortoise, Charcoal tortoise, Panther tortoise, Spur-thighed tortoise, Tropical tortoise

Feeding recommendation
Dosage: Shake well before use. Approximately 5 drops per scoop of food or 11-22 drops per 100 g of fresh food. This supplementary feed may only be fed to tortoises up to 4 % of the daily ration due to the higher vitamin D3 content compared to complete feeds. This advice applies to complete feed with at least 88 % dry matter.

Furthermore, the preparation can counteract nutrition-related symptoms of paralysis, such as dragging of the legs. It also supports fertility and the hatching ability of reptile and amphibian embryos.
Of particular importance is the high content of vitamin A in the form of retinol. This vitamin is also known as the ‘epithelial protection vitamin’ and plays an important role in the formation and maintenance of the skin and mucous membranes.Difficulties with moulting and skin problems in reptiles and amphibians can be signs of an insufficient intake of essential vitamins and minerals.

HabiStat Calcium Shot - extra calcium for reptiles & co.The HabiStat Calcium Shot is a practical supplement to daily feeding and provides your animal with an additional source of calcium - ideal for supporting bone structure, muscles and normal body function. An adequate supply of calcium is particularly important for terrarium animals, as it can actively contribute to the stability of the skeleton.Important: In order for calcium to be utilized by the body and absorbed from food, your animal needs either
sufficient exposure to suitable UVB light, or
vitamin D3 via the diet,
or a combination of both.
The Calcium Shot can therefore be sensibly integrated into a balanced husbandry and feeding concept - especially for species with an increased calcium requirement.Advantages at a glanceAdditional source of calcium as a supplement to the feedSupports a needs-based supply of mineralsIdeal in combination with UVB lighting and/or vitamin D3Practical for regular use in the terrarium
Rep Calcium +D3

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.

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.

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.

JBL PROTERRA TURTLE FLUID - Liquid multivitamins for pond and water turtles
🐢 Optimal nutrient supply for healthy and vital turtlesThe diet of pond and water turtles requires targeted vitamin supplementation to prevent deficiency symptoms. JBL PROTERRA TURTLE FLUID is a specially developed multivitamin complex for all aquatic and pond turtle species - ideal for enriching their food.Why are multivitamins so important for aquatic turtles? ✔ Strengthens the immune system: Promotes resistance to diseases and infections.✔ Easy to use: Add a few drops to the food, allow to soak in and feed.✔ Compensates for nutrient losses: Dried foods often do not contain all the vitamins in full - regular vitamin supplementation keeps your turtles healthy.Promotes growth and healthy shell formation, especially in young animals.Ideal for a species-appropriate diet

Proterra Reptile Fluid - 2 x 10mlOptimum nutrition for reptiles and other terrarium animals.In their natural environment, reptiles, amphibians and other terrarium inhabitants meet their requirements for vitamins, minerals and trace elements through the food that is available to them there. Although we endeavor to provide a diet that is as close to nature as possible when maintaining terrariums, this is often not completely feasible.Food animals such as crickets or grasshoppers do not usually come from the natural habitat of the terrarium animals and have therefore not enjoyed a natural diet. For cost reasons, these food animals are often either not fed at all or only fed inferior food, which impairs their nutritional quality.
However, to ensure that our terrarium animals are optimally supplied, supplementing their food with JBL PROTERRA REPTILFLUID is a valuable support. It helps to provide the correct dosage of vitamins and close nutritional gaps.
Poison dart frogs, which lose their toxicity in captivity, are an illustrative example of this. The reason for this is the loss of certain ants in their diet that they eat in the wild. Although this loss of toxicity is not a problem for the frogs themselves and they can even be bred in the terrarium without any problems, this example shows how strongly nutrition can influence the characteristics of animals.Suitable for the following species:Anolis, axolotl, bearded dragons, basilisks, tree pythons, boa constrictors, broad-shelled tortoises, Chinese three-legged tortoises, thick-tailed scorpions, spiny-tailed agamas, spiny-tailed iguanas, European tortoises, European pond turtles, rock iguanas, feeder insects, Dyer's frogs, ghost terrors, golden tejus, praying mantises, Greek tortoise, belted tails, collared iguanas, house geckos, Indian star tortoise, Yemen chameleons, coral fingers, corn snakes, ruffed lizards, clawed frogs, charcoal tortoise, king snakes, king pythons, lobed chameleons, tree frogs, iguanas, leopard geckos, newts, musk turtles, night tree snakes, Pakistan agamas, panther turtles, poison dart frogs, red-eyed frogs, red-bellied slider turtles, hinged turtles, horned frogs, Ornate tortoises, Settler's agamas, Scolopendras, Scorpions, Spur-thighed tortoises, Pond turtles, Day geckos, Tokees, Tropical tortoises, Tropical pond turtles, Tarantulas, Water agamas, Water turtles, Desert geckos, Dwarf day geckos
