{"product_id":"vetark-nutrobal-100g","title":"Vetark Nutrobal Calcium \u0026 Vitamin Supplement for Reptiles 100g","description":"\u003cp\u003eVetark Nutrobal is a high-calcium vitamin and mineral dusting powder developed specifically for insectivorous reptiles and birds. It addresses one of the most common dietary shortfalls in captive keeping: the poor calcium content and imbalanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio found in feeder insects such as crickets, mealworms, and locusts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Calcium Balance Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ratio of calcium to phosphorus in a reptile's diet directly affects bone development, skeletal health, and reproductive function. Live feeder insects are naturally low in calcium and high in phosphorus — a combination that, over time, leads to metabolic bone disease and other deficiency conditions. Vetark Nutrobal corrects this with a Ca:P ratio of 46:1, making it one of the most potent calcium balancers available for reptile keepers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNutritional Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach gram of Vetark Nutrobal delivers 200mg of calcium and 150IU of vitamin D3, alongside a comprehensive vitamin and mineral complex.

Reptiles fed predominantly on lean meat also benefit from supplementation. Growing tortoises and other chelonia require calcium for healthy shell development, and larger lizards and crocodilians rely on adequate mineral intake for normal bone growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVetark Nutrobal is used as a dusting powder — applied directly to live feeder insects immediately before offering them to the animal. This is the standard and most effective delivery method for insectivorous reptiles, ensuring the supplement is consumed alongside the prey item rather than being left in the enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor keepers managing insectivore diets, Vetark Nutrobal provides a well-established, vet-formulated approach to closing the nutritional gap that feeder insects alone cannot fill.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54148881908049,"sku":"VVS005","price":9.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/VVS005_1.jpg?v=1782602864","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/vetark-nutrobal-100g","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
