Vitamins for Aquatic Turtles – 20ml

Beaphar Turtle Vit is a specialized liquid multivitamin formulated to meet the unique physiological needs of aquatic turtles, terrapins, and even amphibians like axolotls. Because many captive diets consist of dried shrimp or processed pellets, turtles can easily become deficient in key nutrients. This supplement ensures your pet has the biological tools needed for a hard, resilient shell and a robust immune system.

Key Benefits:

• Supports Shell Integrity: High in Vitamin D3, which is vital for calcium metabolism. This helps prevent Metabolic Bone Disease (MBD) and ensures the shell remains hard and properly formed.

• Eye & Respiratory Health: Enriched with Vitamin A, a critical nutrient for turtles. Deficiency in Vitamin A is a leading cause of swollen eyelids and respiratory infections in aquatic species.

• Boosts Natural Immunity: A balanced blend of vitamins helps your turtle resist common water-borne pathogens and environmental stressors.

• Promotes Vitality: Enhances energy levels and appetite, particularly in growing juveniles or turtles recovering from illness.

• Liquid Precision: The easy-drop bottle allows for accurate dosing, ensuring your pet gets exactly what they need without contaminating the tank water.

The Importance of Vitamin A & D3:

In the wild, turtles spend hours basking in UV sunlight and eating a varied diet of live prey and vegetation. In a home aquarium, they rely entirely on you for these elements. Beaphar Turtle Vit bridges the gap, providing the "sunshine vitamin" (D3) and the "vision vitamin" (A) necessary for a long, healthy life.

Ideal For:

• All Aquatic Turtles: Including Red-Eared Sliders, Musk Turtles, and Painted Turtles.

• Terrapins & Marsh Turtles: Providing support for species that transition between water and land.

• Amphibians: Safe for use with various aquatic frogs and newts.

• Juvenile Turtles: Supporting the rapid skeletal growth of young hatchlings.

Usage & Dosage Instructions:

1. Preparation: Shake the bottle well before use.

2. Dosage: The recommended dose is 1 drop per 100g of body weight.

3. Administration: * Via Food: For best results, drop the supplement onto their food (pellets or dried shrimp) and let it soak in before feeding. This ensures the turtle ingests the vitamins rather than them washing away in the tank.

   • Via Water: Alternatively, it can be added directly to the tank water, though feeding via food is more efficient.

4. Consistency: Use 2–3 times per week as a preventative measure, or daily if your turtle is showing signs of vitamin deficiency.

5. Storage: Keep in a cool, dark place to maintain the stability of the vitamins.
