Vetark Calci-Dust 150g – Pure Calcium Supplement for Reptiles

Vetark Calci-Dust is a premium, pure calcium carbonate supplement designed to support strong bones, healthy growth, and natural metabolic function in reptiles. The ultra-fine particle size improves digestibility and ensures excellent adhesion to salads, vegetables, and live feeder insects.

Calcium is essential for preventing metabolic bone disease (MBD). Diurnal species such as Bearded Dragons, which bask under UVB lighting, can synthesise vitamin D3 naturally, but still require a reliable calcium source in their diet. Calci-Dust can be used daily, or alternated with a multivitamin such as Vetark Nutrobal for a balanced supplementation routine.

Key Benefits:

• Pure calcium carbonate – no additives or fillers
• Superfine powder for excellent absorption and adhesion
• Supports strong bones, growth, and shell development
• Ideal for tortoises, lizards, geckos, Bearded Dragons and snakes
• Perfect for dusting feeder insects or sprinkling on salads

How To Use:

Sprinkle lightly onto food or dust feeder insects. Use approximately one pinch (around 1/8 teaspoon) per kilogram of animal body weight.

Ingredients:

Calcium carbonate (40% elemental calcium).

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do Bearded Dragons need a calcium supplement without D3?
Yes. Bearded Dragons kept under the correct UVB lighting can synthesise vitamin D3 naturally, making a pure calcium powder like Calci-Dust ideal for daily use or alternating with a multivitamin.

How often should I use Calci-Dust?
For most reptiles, use a light dusting at every feed. If you are also using a multivitamin like Vetark Nutrobal, alternate between the two products.

Do I still need vitamin D3 with Calci-Dust?
Species with adequate UVB lighting can produce vitamin D3 naturally. If UVB exposure is low or inconsistent, use a multivitamin containing vitamin D3 on alternate days as advised by your reptile vet or husbandry guidelines.

Is Calci-Dust safe for tortoises?
Yes. Pure calcium carbonate is ideal for tortoises, especially juveniles and growing animals that require additional calcium to support healthy shell and bone development.

Can I dust feeder insects with this?
Absolutely. The superfine texture sticks extremely well to crickets, locusts, mealworms and other feeder insects, helping you deliver a consistent calcium boost with every feed.
