: : : With my reptiles i give reptivite, as well as repcal.....the reptivite has the other vitamins that reptiles need, but not the calcium that reptiles and sugar gliders need.....also it has vitamin D3 which is necessary for calcium absorption. Make sure it is the pink label without phosphorus! Hope that helped!:wow I didnt know about the phosphorus is it dangerous.sorry to but in and kind of change the subject but I didnt know anything about that.
: :sorry the message above about the fear of phosphorus was from me.I am new here and did'nt understand how to answer a message.I thought I had to put the name of the original person that left the message on the line that said name.sorry for the confution.I have it figured out now(I think)
Phosphorus blocks the absorption of calcium, so you need to watch foods that contain high amounts of phosphorus as compared to calcium! I am actually trying to find out what a safe ratio is, and where i can find phosphorus percentages for different foods, so if anyone knows!! TaraRAe
