NEKTON-REP
Multivitamin preparation for reptiles and amphibians with high levels of vitamin A

NEKTON-Rep is packed with 12 vitamins, 6 trace elements, 2 amino acids, and calcium. It helps speed up skin formation, supports mucous membrane function, boosts energy metabolism, and promotes growth.

When animals lack vitamins and minerals, they tend to be less active. NEKTON-Rep makes up for these deficiencies and helps animals become more lively again. It also prevents paralysis symptoms like leg tightening when given regularly. NEKTON-Rep even aids in muscle, gland, and nervous system development.

For amphibians and reptiles, NEKTON-Rep can improve fertility and the success rate of hatching embryos.

NEKTON-Rep is a high-quality vitamin supplement for amphibians and reptiles that contains a lot of vitamin A. This vitamin is important for skin and mucous membrane formation, and deficiencies can lead to skin problems and diseases in these animals. There are around 9000 species of reptiles and amphibians that live in diverse habitats, and it's important to provide them with appropriate conditions in captivity. This includes providing the right lighting, temperature, air, space, and food. Amphibians are mostly carnivores, while reptiles can be carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores depending on the species. All animals need carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and water in their diets to maintain health. Deficiencies in any of these can lead to health problems. Vitamins are important catalysts for vital processes in the body, and deficiencies in certain vitamins can cause various issues such as eye inflammation, bone damage, paralysis, and skin damage. NEKTON-Rep helps to prevent these deficiencies and keep amphibians and reptiles healthy.

How to feed:

NEKTON-Rep is water-soluble and easy to administer via drinking water or as a powder via food animals.
0.25 g (0.009 oz) of NEKTON-Rep per kg (2.2 lbs) body weight daily, or 1.5 g (0.05 oz) once a week.
One level measuring spoon (enclosed) corresponds to 1 g (0.035 oz) of NEKTON-Rep.
Due to the higher content of vitamin D and trace elements compared to complete feeds, this supplementary feed may only be fed to reptiles and amphibians up to 5% of the daily ration.

ADDED TO FEED
This is the simplest way. NEKTON-REP can be mixed with the reptile's plant or meat food: E.g., Tortoises - scatter a pinch of NEKTON-REP over chopped or shredded lettuce leaves after wetting them slightly. Turtles - knead NEKTON-REP into finely chopped heart and form tiny balls that can then be fed by means of tweezers.

If the animals are fed on live fodder, it is better to dissolve the NEKTON-REP powder in water and inject this under the skin of the animal used as fodder.

In the case of insect-eating reptiles and land amphibians put the dose of NEKTON-REP powder into a jar, let the insects in and shake the jar. The insects are then covered in NEKTON-REP and can be fed to the animal as usual.

ADDED TO DRINKING WATER
This method is quite simple as NEKTON-REP is soluble in cold water and thus guarantees a full and reliable supply of vitamins and trace elements.
For land reptiles add 1 gram NEKTON-REP to a water ration of 1/4 litre and this meets the animal's vitamin needs completely. Use fresh water every day. At the beginning remove all other drinking vessels so that the animal is forced to use the one containing the vitamins. In time you will find your pet prefers the water with NEKTON-REP to its normal drinking water.

ADDED TO TERRARIUM WATER
Amphibians living mostly in water can absorb the vitamins through their skin or by swallowing the water. As a guide we recommend a measuringspoonful (1 g) to 30 litres water (about 7 U.S. gallons).

NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt
Electrolytes for reptiles

NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt is an electrolyte mixture specifically designed to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in reptiles. The body fluid in reptiles consists mainly of water and certain salts - electrolytes. Electrolytes are minerals that are electrically charged once they are dissolved in a liquid. The most important electrolytes in the body include the positively charged cations sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, as well as the negatively charged anions chloride, bicarbonate, and phosphate.

These electrolytes aid in the regeneration of nerve and muscle function and help maintain acid-base balance and water balance. Many reptiles suffer from chronic dehydration, caused by dry living conditions, inadequate drinking, low fluid intake, or illness-related fluid losses due to diarrhea or blood loss. Various types of dehydration lead to the loss of not only water but also electrolytes.

Significant water and electrolyte losses should be quickly replenished, as imbalances in the body‘s water and electrolyte balance can lead to health problems. Special electrolyte solutions are used for this purpose. Unlike mammals, reptiles can absorb water through their skin. Through baths, they absorb fluids and electrolytes dissolved in the water, this maintaining their fluid and electrolyte supply.

NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt contains essential electrolytes that balance fluid and electrolyte levels. This helps reptiles quickly recover and regenerate after a loss of moisture. NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt has an electrolyte content similar to that of bodily fluids, allowing it to be quickly absorbed and utilized by the organism.

How to feed:

Usage: NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt can be used either for bathing or added to drinking water.

For bathing:

  • Add 1g (2/3 included measuring spoon) of NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt to 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) of water (8 level measuring spoons or 1.5 teaspoons per 1 liter (1.06 qt) of water), once a week. For severely dehydrated animals, the dosage is 1.5g (1 and a quarter measuring spoon) to 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) of water (11.5 level measuring spoons or 2 teaspoons per 1 liter (1.06 qt) of water). Bathing can be done 2 to 3 times a week.
  • One level measuring spoon (enclosed) corresponds to 1.3g (0.046 oz) of NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt.
  • Add NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt to the water and thoroughly mix until the electrolyte mixture is completely dissolved (this process may take up to 5 minutes). Check the water temperature. Ensure that the water does not get into the animal's face.

As a drinking solution: Dissolve 1g (2/3 included measuring spoon) of NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt in 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) of water; once a week. An application is especially recommended before and after transportation and after illnesses.

NEKTON-IGUANA
Vitamin and development supplement for green iguanas and herbivorous reptiles.

Using NEKTON-Iguana ensures the development of your iguana's skeletal system and supports the natural shedding process. It also helps protect against nervous system disorders and maintains the health of the mucous membranes. In addition, NEKTON-Iguana strengthens your iguana's body, especially during stressful times like shedding, adjusting to new environments, or when being moved or transported.

When you add NEKTON-Iguana to your iguana's diet, it significantly enhances the nutritional value of their regular food. This supplement effectively prevents deficiency symptoms and boosts your iguana's activity levels. Please note that while using NEKTON-Iguana, there's no need to administer any other vitamin compounds. NEKTON-Iguana provides essential nutrients to support your iguana's health.The protein in NEKTON-Iguana is already broken down into its building blocks, amino acids, making it readily available for natural protein synthesis. It contains almost all the necessary amino acids, effectively supplementing your pet's protein requirements.

Since vitamins cannot be produced in sufficient amounts by the animal itself, they must be added to the diet. Vitamin deficiency can have serious and irreversible effects on animals. In iguanas, a lack of vitamins (avitaminosis) can result in a pale, gray-green skin color, crest point die-off, joint swelling, paralysis, convulsions, and other symptoms such as shedding disorders. NEKTON-Iguana is carefully formulated to provide the necessary vitamins to meet your iguana's daily requirements. Calcium and phosphates play a crucial role in bone development. NEKTON-Iguana is rich in calcium and also contains added vitamin D3, which enhances the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorous, ensuring healthy bone growth.

NEKTON-MULTI-REP
Vitamin & Multivitamin preparation for reptiles and amphibians with less vitamin A

NEKTON-Multi-Rep has 12 vitamins, 9 amino acids, and 6 trace elements to ensure your reptiles get the essential nutrients they need. This feed supplement promotes strong bones, healthy growth, and prevents paralysis symptoms like leg tightening. It's great for armor-bearing, non-molting reptiles and amphibians because of its low concentration of vitamin A and well-balanced calcium - phosphorus ratio. To prevent deficiencies, offer NEKTON-Multi-Rep at least once a week. Do not use any other vitamin preparation while using NEKTON-Multi-Rep.

NEKTON-Multi-Rep is very similar to Nekton-Rep, except that it has a much lower level of vitamin A, compared to NEKTON-Rep. This lower vitamin A level makes it ideal for turtles and tortoises as it helps prevent skin, shell, bone, and eye issues. It can be helpful in controlling the amount of vitamin A supplementation in chameleons as well, in order to avoid vitamin A induced metabolic bone disease. Advanced hobbyists will appreciate the ability to customize vitamin A-levels, by alternating between NEKTON-Multi-Rep and NEKTON-Rep. Such as when keeping and raising poison dart frogs.

Nekton-Multi-Rep is a soluble in cold water and can be administered in a variety of ways, depending on what is best for the particular reptile or amphibian. Nekton-Multi-Rep can be added to soft, moist food, it can be used to dust feeder insects, it can be added to drinking water, and it can even be injected under the skin of feeder animals. For amphibians spending a significant portion of their life in water, it can simply be added to the terrarium water, and they will absorb Nekton-Multi-Rep through their skin.

How to feed:

NEKTON-Multi-Rep is water-soluble and easy to administer via drinking water or as a powder via food animals.
0.25 g (0.009 oz) of NEKTON-Multi-Rep per kg (2.2 lbs) body weight daily, or 1.5 g (0.05 oz) once a week.
One level measuring spoon (enclosed) corresponds to 1 g (0.035 oz) of NEKTON-Multi-Rep.
Due to the higher content of vitamin D and trace elements compared to complete feeds, this supplementary feed may only be fed to reptiles and amphibians up to 5% of the daily ration.

ADDED TO FEED
This is the simplest way. NEKTON-Multi-Rep can be mixed with the reptile's plant or meat food: E.g., Tortoises - scatter a pinch of NEKTON-Multi-Rep over chopped or shredded lettuce leaves after wetting them slightly. Turtles - knead NEKTON-Multi-Rep into finely chopped heart and form tiny balls that can then be fed by means of tweezers.

If the animals are fed on live fodder, it is better to dissolve the NEKTON-Multi-Rep powder in water and inject this under the skin of the animal used as fodder.

In the case of insect-eating reptiles and land amphibians put the dose of NEKTON-Multi-Rep powder into a jar, let the insects in and shake the jar. The insects are then covered in NEKTON-Multi-Rep and can be fed to the animal as usual.

ADDED TO DRINKING WATER
This method is quite simple as NEKTON-Multi-Rep is soluble in cold water and thus guarantees a full and reliable supply of vitamins and trace elements.
For land reptiles add 1 gram NEKTON-Multi-Rep to a water ration of 1/4 litre and this meets the animal's vitamin needs completely. Use fresh water every day. At the beginning remove all other drinking vessels so that the animal is forced to use the one containing the vitamins. In time you will find your pet prefers the water with NEKTON-Multi-Rep to its normal drinking water.

ADDED TO TERRARIUM WATER

NEKTON-REP-CALCIUM-PUR/PUR+
Pure calcium for reptiles illuminated with UVB.

NEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur/Pur+ is a super effective calcium supplement that doesn't have vitamin D3. It helps prevent calcium deficiency and the problems that come with it, like rickets, deformities, and weak turtle shells. It's great for reptiles and amphibians because it supports healthy bone development and keeps their calcium levels in check.

NEKTON-Rep-Calcium-Pur/Pur+ is specially made for animals that get enough UVB light in their terrarium or those that spend plenty of time in the sun (around 10 hours). These animals can make their own vitamin D, so they don't need extra vitamin D3 in their supplement. If that's not the case, we recommend our NEKTON-Rep Calcium+D3 instead.

Calcium is very important for animals. It helps make strong eggshells, bones, and even aids in muscle contractions. But the calcium in their regular food is usually not enough. This is especially true for insects they eat, so it's important to give them extra calcium. Even if they live in a terrarium, they still need that extra calcium because they get more in the wild. Female animals and young ones, in particular, need more calcium to stay healthy.

Reptiles and amphibians need vitamin D in order to properly use calcium in their bodies. If these animals get enough of the right kind of UVB radiation, there's no need to give them extra vitamin D through their food. When these animals are healthy and get enough UVB radiation, they usually don't have a vitamin D deficiency. The vitamin precursors they get from their food (mostly from plants, animal muscles, and fat) are converted into a form of vitamin D3 in their skin when they're exposed to sunlight or UVB radiation and warmth. Then, in their kidneys, it becomes the active form of vitamin D3.

The amount of UVB radiation (how strong and how long) they need depends on the species of the animal. For example, desert-dwelling species need a lot more UVB radiation.

If these animals don't get enough calcium, they often try to make up for it by eating things like substrate, which can cause serious constipation. That's why the calcium shouldn't be in the substrate. Calcium sand and bird sand are not good choices for the terrarium. To make sure they're getting enough calcium, it's important to regularly give them a calcium supplement with their food.

Nekton-Rep-Calcium-Pur+ is the same as Pur, but with added trace minerals. Eventually, Pur+ will replace Pur.

NEKTON-GRILLEN
Concentrated compound for breeding feeder crickets.

NEKTON-Grillen-Concentrate is a comprehensive blend that contains all the essential proteins from both animal and plant sources, as well as a rich variety of vitamins and minerals, including major and trace elements. With this concentrated feed, there is no need for any additional supplements! To provide water for the crickets, we recommend using cucumber slices instead of a water source. They serve the same purpose and are much easier to manage, reducing the risk of young crickets drowning.

NEKTON-Grillen is specifically formulated to meet the unique nutritional requirements of crickets, which consume both plant and animal matter. By feeding them this rich and valuable mixture, you can raise healthy, high-quality, and larger crickets that serve as an optimal source of nutrition for reptiles and birds. The powdered form of the concentrate ensures that the crickets readily consume it during breeding. Crickets, like waxworms, make excellent live feed for various reptile and bird species. They can be used as feed for many animals right from their early days, depending on their size. The advantage of using NEKTON-Grillen is that it provides high-quality protein without excessive amounts of chitin.

One particular benefit of NEKTON-Grillen-Conentrate is its ability to reduce the high failure rate during the young crickets' initial molting process. Additionally, it is easily ingested by the young crickets right from the first day, ensuring their nutritional needs are met.

How to feed:

Add a small amount of NEKTON-Grillen-Concentrate to your crickets' enclosure. Replace daily, as the enclosure is cleaned. We recommend using cucumber slices instead of drinking water. They serve the same purpose and are much easier to use. This therefore decreases the number of young crickets drowning.

Storage:

NEKTON-Grillen-Concentrate should be stored dry and out of sunlight, between 15° and 25° C (59° and 77° F). DO NOT STORE IN THE FRIDGE !!!

NEKTON-DROSOPHILA
Concentrate for making fruit fly breeding media.

NEKTON-Drosophila concentrate is a convenient premade mix consisting of various vitamins and yeast. It allows for the quick and easy production of high-quality fruit flies as a nutritional food source for reptiles. Simply mix the concentrate with warm water to create a nutritious breeding base within seconds.

The vitamins contained in NEKTON-Drosophila contribute to the development of healthy, high-quality, and larger fruit flies. The size and activity of these flies enhances the perception of them by reptiles during feeding.

The ideal room temperature for breeding is approximately 22-25 °C (71.6-77 °F). Fruit fly egg deposition ceases at higher temperatures. Depending on the species or breed, the fruit fly (drosophila) can grow up to 3.5 cm long and approximately 1 mm thick. The male fruit fly has a black end segment, while the female has a brown end segment. After hatching from the white eggs, which are approximately 0.55 mm long and 0.2 mm wide, maggots of a similar size emerge and grow to around 5 mm long after three molts.

How to use:

Breeding with NEKTON-Drosophila concentrate doesn't require much effort. It can be prepared without cooking. Mix or stir 1 part NEKTON-Drosophila concentrate with 1.5 - 2 parts warm water (22-25 °C 71.6-77 °F), and the fruit fly media is ready. Then add the media to a sealed, ventilated container. To the same container add excelsior or coffee filters, and seed with flightless-flies from an existing culture. It couldn't be easier!

Adding a few drops of vinegar (fruit vinegar) can accelerate the breeding process. The thickness of the paste can be adjusted by adding water. The prepared paste will eventually liquefy and provide optimal living conditions for the maggots.

Storage:

NEKTON-Drosophila should be stored dry and out of sunlight, between 15° and 25° C (59° and 77° F). DO NOT STORE IN THE FRIDGE !!!

Composition:

Dextrose, fine biscuit, brewer's yeast, soy (GMO-free), fructose, sucrose
