Slow-Release Calcium Block for Turtles

Dr. Turtle is a slow-release calcium block that conditions water while providing a calcium supplement to promote healthy shell growth for aquatic turtles. To use the product, simply place the Dr. Turtle Block in your turtles' water supply. Proper shell growth and development in turtles require UVB lighting and heat.

The Dr. Turtle Block is a convenient way to ensure that aquatic turtles receive the necessary calcium for strong and healthy shell development. By slowly releasing calcium into the water, the block helps to condition the water while simultaneously providing a beneficial supplement for the turtles. This easy-to-use product can be simply placed in the turtles' water supply, making it a hassle-free addition to their care routine.

In addition to the calcium-rich block, turtles also require specific environmental conditions to support their overall health and shell growth. Adequate UVB lighting and appropriate heat levels are essential for proper shell development. UVB radiation is necessary for turtles to synthesize vitamin D3, which plays a crucial role in calcium metabolism and bone formation. Maintaining the correct temperature range helps to regulate the turtles' metabolism and support their overall well-being.

By combining the use of the Dr. Turtle Block with the provision of appropriate UVB lighting and heat, aquarium owners can create an optimal environment for their turtles to thrive. The slow-release calcium supplement helps to address any potential calcium deficiencies, while the UVB lighting and heat ensure that the turtles can effectively utilize the calcium for strong and healthy shell growth.

This comprehensive approach to turtle care can be particularly beneficial for those new to keeping aquatic turtles or for those looking to improve the overall health and development of their existing turtle population. The Dr. Turtle Block, coupled with the proper lighting and temperature conditions, offers a convenient and effective way to support the long-term well-being of these fascinating reptiles.
