JurassiCal is a concentrated phosphorus free source of calcium for reptiles and amphibians. Herbivorous and carnivorous diets are frequently calcium deficient and phosphorus rich. Thus, it is of no benefit to use a calcium supplement containing phosphorus.
Lack of calcium in the diet can lead to metabolic bone disease, shell deformities and soft shells in turtles and tortoises. JurassiCal is highly concentrated and does not contain any Vitamin D3 as excessive amounts can be toxic and may lead to hypercalcemia.,JurassiCal is a concentrated phosphorus free source of calcium for reptiles and amphibians.
