Vitamin pikeun kuya

In nature, turtles get the vitamins they need with their food. At home, it is very difficult for turtles to provide all the variety of what they eat in nature, so you have to give special vitamin supplements. Turtles must receive a full range of vitamins (A, D3, E, etc.) and minerals (calcium, etc.), otherwise they develop a whole range of diseases that can cause illness and even death. Commercial supplements of calcium and vitamins are usually produced separately, and both should be given in small quantities along with food once a week.

Land turtles are encouraged to give dandelions and grated carrots (as sources of vitamin A). In summer, when feeding with various fresh weeds, you can not give vitamin supplements, and at other times of the year you need to use a ready-made vitamin complex in the form of a powder. Land turtles are given vitamins once a week sprinkled on food. If the turtle refuses to eat food with vitamins, stir it so that the turtle does not notice. It is impossible to pour or pour vitamins into the mouth of turtles immediately, and it is also impossible to lubricate the shell with vitamins. Calcium should be given to tortoises year-round. Powder supplements can be replaced with a single injection of the Eleovit vitamin complex for animals in spring and autumn at a dosage corresponding to the weight of the turtle.

Aquatic turtles with a varied diet usually do not need vitamin complexes. The source of vitamin A for them is beef or chicken liver and fish with entrails. Complete feeds from Tetra and Sera in granules are also suitable. But if you feed a predatory turtle with fish fillets or gammarus, then it will have a lack of calcium and vitamins, which will lead to sad consequences. If you are not sure that you are feeding the turtle fully, then you can give it pieces of fish from tweezers, which must be sprinkled with a vitamin complex for reptiles. Powder supplements can be replaced with a single injection of the Eleovit vitamin complex for animals in spring and autumn at a dosage corresponding to the weight of the turtle.

Ready-made vitamin supplements

When choosing a vitamin supplement, large doses of A, D3, selenium and B12 are dangerous; B1, B6 and E are not dangerous; D2 (ergocalciferol) – poisonous. In fact, the turtle needs only A, D3, which must be given in the proportion A:D3:E – 100:10:1 once every 1-2 weeks. The average doses of vitamin A are 2000 – 10000 IU / kg of the feed mixture (and not the weight of the turtle!). For vitamin B12 – 50-100 mcg / kg of the mixture. It is important that calcium supplements contain no more than 1% phosphorus, and even better, no phosphorus at all. Vitamins such as A, D3 and B12 are deadly in overdose. Selenium is also very dangerous. Conversely, turtles are quite tolerant of high doses of vitamins B1, B6 and E. Many multivitamin preparations for warm-blooded animals contain vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), which is not absorbed by reptiles and is highly toxic.
