Repashy Calcium Plus HyD 85g – Supplement for Reptiles & Amphibians

Repashy Calcium Plus HyD 85g is an all-in-one calcium and vitamin dusting supplement formulated for reptiles and amphibians with high vitamin D requirements that receive little UVB from natural or artificial sunlight.

Unlike a plain calcium powder, Calcium Plus HyD combines calcium with vitamins, chelated trace minerals and carotenoids in one convenient formula. It is designed to lightly coat feeder insects, helping simplify supplementation without requiring separate calcium and multivitamin powders.

Why Choose Calcium Plus HyD?

Calcium Plus HyD is the higher-vitamin-D option within the Repashy Calcium Plus range. It is intended for species or husbandry situations where vitamin D requirements are high and exposure to natural or artificial UVB is limited.

Because vitamin D requirements vary between species and enclosure setups, HyD should be selected according to the animal’s diet, UVB provision and established husbandry needs rather than used as a general-purpose calcium powder for every reptile.

Key Benefits

• All-in-one calcium, vitamin and trace mineral supplement
• Formulated for species with high vitamin D requirements
• Suitable where little natural or artificial UVB is received
• Minimum 20% calcium
• Contains vitamins A, D3, E and B-group vitamins

Choosing the Right Repashy Calcium Plus Formula

Calcium Plus HyD is formulated for species with high vitamin D requirements that receive little UVB from natural or artificial sunlight.

Calcium Plus LoD is formulated for species with lower vitamin D requirements that receive moderate UVB.

Choose the formula that matches the species, diet and lighting setup. Seek advice from an experienced reptile veterinarian or suitably qualified specialist if you are uncertain which vitamin D level is appropriate.

Directions for Use

Use with every insect feeding. Place the feeder insects into a plastic bag or suitable container with a small amount of Calcium Plus HyD and shake gently until they are lightly coated.
