Reptiles sometimes need extra support as well. In captivity, diet, lighting and living conditions differ from those in the wild, which means it is not always guaranteed that all necessary nutrients are absorbed in the correct amounts. In such cases, a supplement can be a valuable addition to daily care.
Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamin and mineral supplements help maintain good overall condition and support important bodily processes such as bone development and metabolism. Exact requirements vary greatly between reptile species and depend on factors such as age, growth, diet and housing conditions. Additional support may also be beneficial during periods of stress, recovery or when the diet is more limited. More information about the care of specific reptiles can be found on our page about Reptile Species.
Healthy Digestion
A properly functioning digestive system plays an important role in the wellbeing of reptiles. A healthy gut flora supports nutrient absorption and contributes to overall health.
Support with Supplements
Supplements are always intended as an addition to a suitable diet, proper UV lighting and a well-designed habitat. Targeted use is important, as both deficiencies and overdosing are undesirable. Therefore, always read the product information carefully before giving it to your reptile.
