Vetark Nutrobal Vitamin & Mineral Supplement 1kg

Vetark Nutrobal is a high-calcium vitamin and mineral dusting powder formulated specifically for insectivorous reptiles and birds. It addresses one of the most common dietary shortfalls in captive keeping: the poor calcium content of live feeder insects such as crickets, mealworms, and locusts. If your animals are fed primarily on insects or lean meat, Nutrobal is a core part of correcting that nutritional gap.

Why Calcium Balance Matters

The ratio of calcium to phosphorus in a reptile's diet has a direct impact on bone development, growth rate, and reproductive health. Feeder insects are notoriously low in calcium and carry an unfavourable Ca:P ratio. Nutrobal is formulated with a calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 46:1, making it one of the most effective tools available for correcting deficient insect-based diets.

Which Animals Benefit Most

• Insectivorous reptiles fed on crickets, mealworms, or locusts as a staple
• Species fed primarily on lean meat, which is similarly calcium-poor
• Growing chelonia (tortoises and turtles) requiring calcium for healthy shell development
• Larger lizards and crocodilians during normal bone development

Full Nutritional Profile

Each gram delivers 200mg of calcium and 150IU of vitamin D3, supporting calcium absorption as well as intake. The formula also includes a broad-spectrum vitamin complex — A, C, E, K, B1, B2, B6, B12, folic acid, nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, biotin, choline, and niacin — alongside essential minerals including phosphorus, sodium, iron, cobalt, iodine, manganese, zinc, selenium, and copper.

How to Use

Apply Nutrobal as a dusting powder directly onto live food immediately before feeding. The 1kg size is well suited to keepers with multiple animals or larger collections where consistent supplementation is an ongoing requirement.

Vetark Nutrobal is a trusted, veterinary-formulated supplement with a well-established track record in UK reptile keeping. Used consistently, it provides a reliable foundation for the long-term health of insectivorous reptiles and chelonia.
