DESCRIPTION
Phosphorous Free - No Vitamin D3
Calcium deficiency is a major dietary problem of captive reptiles and amphibians. Maintaining a proper calcium:phosphorous (Ca:P) ratio in the diet of 1.5:1 is believed to be just as important nutritionally as an adequate Ca intake. The problem in most cases is an improper Ca:P ratio, not too little Ca.
Ca:P ratios of common cultured food items are shockingly poor:
| Calcium | Phosphorous | |
| Crickets | 0.13 | 1 |
| Meal Worms | 0.06 | 1 |
| Wax Worms | 0.08 | 1 |
| Pinky Mice | 0.89 | 1 |
Using a calcium supplement that also adds phosphorous makes no sense as an adequate Ca:P ratio can never be achieved. Bone meal contains phosphorous. Rep-Cal contains only 100% Natural phosphorous-free oyster shell Calcium Carbonate for its calcium source.
