Product Description
Ensure your aquatic turtle maintains a strong shell and optimal bone health with the Zoo Med Dr. Turtle Slow-Release Calcium Block. Specially formulated for aquatic turtles and amphibians, these convenient blocks provide a steady, consistent release of essential calcium and magnesium directly into the water supply. As the block dissolves gradually, it not only acts as a calcium supplement to support healthy growth but also helps to condition the water in your turtle's habitat. Maintaining proper water chemistry is vital for preventing common shell issues, and this supplement simplifies that process. Each 0.5 ounce block is designed to treat up to 15 gallons of water, making it a reliable solution for your terrarium or tank setup. Ideal for pet owners looking to provide supplemental calcium, this product is an excellent addition to your regular turtle care routine. For best results, use in conjunction with proper UVB lighting and a balanced diet. Whether you are caring for a new pet or maintaining an established habitat, these blocks provide the necessary mineral support to help your turtle thrive in a controlled aquatic environment.
FAQ
Q1. What species of aquatic turtle is this product suitable for?
Ans: This calcium block is designed for most aquatic turtles and aquatic amphibians. It is best used as a supplement to help maintain healthy shells and strong bones in a captive aquatic environment.
Q2. Do I need to use other calcium sources for my turtle?
Ans: Yes, while these blocks provide water-borne calcium, it is recommended to balance this with direct dietary calcium sources like cuttlebone and ensure your turtle has access to proper UVB lighting for vitamin D3 synthesis.
Q3. How often should I replace the calcium block?
Ans: The block is designed to be a slow-release supplement. Replace the block once it has fully dissolved in the water, monitoring the frequency based on your tank size and water turnover.
Q4. Are these products authentic USA-imported goods?
Ans: Yes, all Zoo Med products sold at Rudra Retails are authentic, USA-imported items. We source our inventory directly from verified suppliers in the United States to ensure quality and authenticity for our customers.
Q5. Will this block affect the clarity of my turtle's water?
Ans: The block is designed to dissolve slowly and safely. While it releases minerals into the water, it is formulated specifically for reptile habitats and should not negatively impact the environment when used as directed.
