ProRep Calci Dust 200g

ProRep Calci Dust is a pure calcium carbonate supplement for reptiles and amphibians, designed to correct one of the most common deficiencies seen in captive collections. Made from 100% natural calcium carbonate with no additives, it delivers essential calcium in a micro-fine particle size that adheres reliably to live insects and plant material alike.

Why Calcium Supplementation Matters

Many feeder insects and cultivated plant foods are naturally low in calcium, and some carry high phosphorus levels that actively inhibit calcium uptake. Without consistent supplementation, reptiles and amphibians are at real risk of metabolic bone disease and other deficiency-related conditions. Calci Dust addresses this directly at every feed.

How to Use

• For herbivorous reptiles such as tortoises: sprinkle directly over food immediately before feeding
• For live insects: place a small amount in a plastic bag with the insects and shake gently, then feed straight away while the dust still adheres
• Chilling insects before dusting slows them down, improving adherence and ensuring they are eaten promptly
• Can be used at every feed — calcium carbonate cannot be overdosed, though avoid smothering food as large quantities may reduce palatability
• If an animal is reluctant to accept supplemented food, begin with very low amounts and increase gradually

Composition and UVB Considerations

This product is 100% calcium carbonate with no additives, meaning relatively small quantities are sufficient to maintain adequate calcium levels. Calcium absorption in most reptiles and amphibians requires vitamin D3, which animals synthesise through exposure to UVB lighting of the correct wavelength and intensity. Where UVB provision is limited, an oral D3 source will be needed. Use alongside a broader vitamin and mineral supplement for a complete nutritional approach.

ProRep Calci Dust is a straightforward, no-compromise supplement that fits into any feeding routine. Whether you keep insectivores, herbivores, or a mixed collection, it gives you consistent, reliable calcium delivery without complication.
