Vitamins and minerals for reptiles

A balanced intake of vitamins and minerals is essential for reptile health. In captivity, reptiles do not always receive sufficient amounts of these nutrients through their daily diet. Additional vitamins and minerals help prevent deficiencies and support healthy growth, strong bones and a well-functioning immune system.

In this category you will find supplements specially formulated to meet the needs of different reptile species, such as tortoises, lizards and snakes.

Why are vitamins and minerals so important?

Reptiles are particularly sensitive to deficiencies, especially of:

  • calcium, for strong bones and proper muscle function
  • vitamin D3, essential for calcium absorption
  • vitamin A, important for skin, eyes and mucous membranes
  • trace elements, which contribute to overall metabolism

A deficiency can lead to health issues such as metabolic bone disease (MBD), reduced growth, lethargy or weakened immunity.

When should you use a supplement?

Vitamin and mineral supplements are often used:

  • for young, growing reptiles
  • for gravid or egg-laying animals
  • in cases of limited or unbalanced diets
  • during recovery from illness
  • as a supplement when UVB exposure is insufficient

By regularly dusting or enriching food with a suitable supplement, you help keep your reptile healthy.

Pay attention to dosage and use

Overdosing vitamins and minerals can be harmful. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines or the advice of a veterinarian experienced with reptiles. A balanced intake is more important than a high dosage.

With the right vitamins and minerals, you support your reptile’s natural needs and reduce the risk of deficiencies and health problems. Always combine supplements with appropriate nutrition, sufficient UVB lighting and a well-designed habitat for best results.
