FAQs
What species of aquatic turtle is this product suitable for?
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.
Do I need to use other calcium sources for my turtle?
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.
