Calcium is an extremely important element for the reptilian body. It strengthens bones and improves dental health. With its deficiency, metabolic bone disease (rickets) develops.
Phosphorus is a useful component that regulates the proper balance of vitamins and minerals in the body. It should be consumed in the right ratio with calcium.
Vitamin D3 – strengthens the immune system, maintains normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the lizard’s body.
Vitamin A – ensures the normal functioning of the visual organs, supports bone health and immunity.
Even the most beneficial vitamins and minerals in excess can cause serious health problems. An overabundance of phosphorus contributes to the development of heart and kidney failure. High levels of vitamin A lead to nervous system disorders and liver problems. Vitamin D3 in large quantities negatively affects the condition of muscles and nerves.
The optimal solution is to buy a special feed with the right ratio of useful trace elements.
