Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How is ReptiVite without D3 different from ReptiVite with D3?
Ans: Both share the same calcium-based vitamin, mineral, and amino acid complex, but this version leaves out cholecalciferol, the source of vitamin D3. Its guaranteed analysis lists no vitamin D3, while the rest of the formula is the same, based on Zoo Med's ingredient lists.
Q2: How often should I use it?
Ans: Zoo Med suggests using ReptiVite without D3 two to three times weekly on your reptile's food. Dust it lightly over vegetables, fruits, insects, or turtle paste, and follow the body weight amounts for insectivores and herbivores listed in the chart.
Q3: How do I dust crickets?
Ans: Put crickets in a plastic bag with a small amount of ReptiVite and shake gently until they are coated. Zoo Med recommends about 12 dusted crickets per week for every 2.5 ounces (71 grams) of your reptile's body weight.
Q4: How much do I give an herbivore?
Ans: Zoo Med advises adding approximately ½ teaspoon (2.5 cubic centimeters) of ReptiVite to food for every 5 ounces (142 grams) of body weight. Sprinkle it over vegetables or fruits, so your reptile eats it along with the meal.
Q5: Can I use it for omnivores?
Ans: Yes. Omnivores can be given ReptiVite using either method, dusting feeder insects or mixing it into food. Keep to the recommended amounts for each method based on your reptile's body weight and diet each week.
Q6: What is the calcium to phosphorus ratio?
Ans: Zoo Med describes ReptiVite without D3 as calcium-based with a 2:1 calcium-to-phosphorus ratio. The guaranteed analysis shows calcium ranging from 25.9% to 29.0%, with phosphorus at a minimum of 10.57%. This balance is designed to support healthy bone growth.
Q7: Does it contain fillers or artificial additives?
Ans: ReptiVite without D3 is free from artificial additives and fillers, including soy, yeast, and sucrose. Instead, its ingredients focus on calcium and phosphorus sources, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, lecithin, and dried kelp for your reptile.
