Labcon Reptovit

[rafasani]

I did a search on the forum and found nothing about this product. I guess it is not avaliable in the US. So... This is the only vitamin supplement for reptiles we have avaliable here, I was wondering if it is OK. The problem is that it is a liquid. How would I give it to the geckos?? Put it in the water? Or could I dilute some and spray it on the feeders?

The other problem is Calcium, I can't seem to find any calcium supplements. Good thing is that I am a pharmacist, so I have calcium carbonate and I could mix some D3 to it if I have the right dosage.

The Reptovit composition:

Each 100ml (aprox. 3,3 fl. oz.) contains:
Vit. A 33.400 UI
Vit. D3 2.800 UI
Vit. E 26 mg
Vit. B1 21 mg
Vit. B2 28 mg
Vit. B6 7 mg
Vit. B12 40 mg
Vit. C 350 mg
Niacina 140 mg
Colina 80 mg
Pantotenato de cálcio 39 mg

Thanks!

I guess as a multi-vitamin it is OK, it just lacks the minerals and the AAs.

Considering this multivitamin has D3 would I still need to use calcium carbonate with D3 or would this be enough and I could use pure calcium?

 

[Bennayboi]

It should be enough and you can use pure calcium. They dont need much.
