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.

Bugs No. 04 - Ants in the terrariumThe cover story of Bugs No. 4 is about tiny creatures that achieve great things: ants are the gardeners of nature, pruning grasses, bushes and trees, guarding entire shrubs and ensuring targeted "pest extermination". But they also act as cattle breeders, keeping small colonies of aphids in order to obtain their sweet droppings. Caring for these fascinating animals is highly interesting and there is always something to observe! Reason enough to take you, dear readers, on a journey into the realm of ants and show you how you can keep these colony-forming insects safely and in a species-appropriate way.Table of contentsEditorialFacetsDatesFlown inCover storyThe diversity of the superorganismMyrmecia vindex – archaic AustraliansSnap-jaw ants of the genus MyrmoterasFledgedInvertebrates in MalaysiaIn the crosshairsThe rainbow stag beetleKeeping & BreedingLittle rubies – two Centrobolus speciesReportageExemplary arthropods - Bionics, Part 2Keeping & Breeding The Jewel WaspKeeping & BreedingHorse-headed grasshoppersKeeping & BreedingThe genus PsalmopoeusPotter beeHomemade lime source for snailsBook scorpionAlso in your neighbourhoodKids CornerA small miracleShowcase The master of the MantodeaService & ImprintPreviewMetamorphosesAutumn
