ProRep Calci Dust 200g | Pure Calcium Carbonate Reptile Supplement

PR Calci Dust is a pure calcium carbonate supplement for reptiles and amphibians, designed to address one of the most common and preventable deficiency issues in captive keeping. Made from 100% natural calcium carbonate with no additives, it delivers a straightforward, reliable source of this essential mineral for both insectivorous and herbivorous species.

Why Calcium Supplementation Matters

Many feeder insects and captive diet staples are naturally low in calcium, and some carry high phosphorus levels that actively inhibit calcium uptake. Without consistent supplementation, reptiles and amphibians face a genuine risk of metabolic bone disease and other deficiency-related conditions. PR Calci Dust is formulated to counter this directly, at every feed if required.

Micro-Fine Particle Size

The powder is milled to a micro-fine particle size, which gives it strong adhesion to both live insects and plant material. It coats feeder insects evenly and sticks to vegetable matter without clumping, ensuring the animal actually consumes the supplement rather than leaving it at the bottom of the enclosure.

How to Use It

• For herbivorous species such as tortoises: sprinkle directly over food immediately before feeding
• For insectivorous species: place insects in a bag with a small amount of powder and shake gently, then feed immediately while the dust remains adhered
• Chilling feeder insects before dusting slows them down, improving coating adhesion and ensuring they are eaten quickly
• Avoid over-coating food — large quantities can be unpalatable to some animals, though overdose is not a concern with a 100% calcium carbonate product
• If an animal is reluctant to accept supplemented food, begin with minimal amounts and gradually increase over time

UVB and D3 — An Important Note

Calcium absorption in most reptiles and amphibians depends on the presence of vitamin D3. Without adequate UVB lighting of the correct wavelength and intensity to allow D3 synthesis, or a separate oral D3 supplement, dietary calcium cannot be properly absorbed. PR Calci Dust is best used alongside a full-spectrum UVB source and a combined vitamin and mineral supplement for complete nutritional support.

A straightforward, no-filler calcium supplement that fits into any feeding routine — whether you're keeping tropical lizards, tortoises, or amphibians, consistent calcium provision is non-negotiable for long-term health.
