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).
Storage:
NEKTON-Rep should be stored dry and out of sunlight, between 15° and 25° C (59° and 77° F).

NEKTON-IGUANA
Vitamin and development supplement for green iguanas and herbivorous reptiles.
NEKTON-Iguana is a comprehensive supplement for your pet iguana. It contains a balanced combination of carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, proteins, and 18 essential amino acids. What sets NEKTON-Iguana apart is that all these elements are easily absorbed by the body as soon as it's given to your iguana.
Using NEKTON-Iguana ensures the healthy 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. Along with these vital nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements are essential for maintaining overall health. 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-Iguana offers a comprehensive solution with its balanced composition and optimal nutritional interaction, providing maximum benefits for your pet iguana's well-being.

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
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).
Storage:
NEKTON-Multi-Rep should be stored dry and out of sunlight, between 15° and 25° C (59° and 77° F).

NEKTON-REP-CALCIUM+D3
Potent calcium and vitamin D3 supplement for all reptiles.
In order to build and maintain the skeleton in reptiles and amphibians, it is necessary to have a sufficient supply of calcium. NEKTON-Rep-Calcium+D3 provides an excellent source of calcium and can be used both preventatively and in case of existing deficiency symptoms by incorporating it into regular feeding.
NEKTON-Rep-Calcium+D3 is enriched with vitamin D3 and two amino acids, which support the optimal growth and maintenance of the skeleton and promote a healthy calcium metabolism in all reptiles. It can be used to prevent and treat calcium deficiency and its consequences. To incorporate it into their diet, it can be easily mixed into shredded feed.
For insectivorous reptiles and amphibians, food animals can be coated with NEKTON-Rep-Calcium+D3 for added nutrition.
How to feed:
0.25g (0.009oz) NEKTON-Rep-Calcium+D3 per Kg (2.2Lb) body weight daily, or 1.5g (0.053oz) once a week. Not water-soluble, ideal for dusting/coating of the feed or feeder animals.

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
Complete feed for the breeding of feeder crickets.
NEKTON-Grillen-Zuchtkonzentrat is a complete mixture and contains all essential proteins of animal and plant origin, vitamins and minerals (major and trace elements). No other additional feed is needed! Slices of cucumber are recommended as a source of water. By using NEKTON-Grillen-Zuchtkonzentrat, the nutritionally-specific requirements of crickets, which feed on plant and animal matter, are taken into account. The rich, valuable ingredients develop healthy, high-quality and large feed animals as an optimal source of nutrition for reptiles and birds. The powder form encourages the crickets to ingest the breeding concentrate.
Crickets are also, like waxworms, an excellent live feed for all species of reptile and bird. They are suitable as feed for lots of animal species from the first day of their lives, depending on the size. The advantage is it is a high-quality protein carrier without a large amount of chitin. A special advantage of NEKTON-Grillen-Zuchtkonzentrats lies in reducing the high failure rate during the young animals' first molting. It is also reliably ingested by the young animals from the first day.
Our NEKTON-Grillen-Zuchtkonzentrat contains all essential proteins of animal and plant origin, vitamins and a wide range of minerals (major and trance elements). It is optimally utilized and eliminates the need for additionally feed. The cover the fluid required by crickets, 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.
NEKTON-DROSOPHILA
Concentrate for making fruit fly breeding media.
NEKTON-Drosophila-Zuchtkonzentrat is a prefabricated compound made from different vitamins, yeast and one colorant. With this breeding concentrate, a high-quality and effective basis for breeding fruit flies as a source of nutrition for reptiles is produced within seconds, simply by mixing it with warm water. Healthy, high-quality, large feed animals develop thanks for the vitamins contained. These fruit flies are significantly better perceived by the reptiles when feeding due to the colorant contained in NEKTON-Drosophila-Zuchtkonzentrat. Use: 1 part NEKTON-Drosophila-Zuchtkonzentrat is mixed with 1.5 - 2 parts warm water by stirring.
The fruit fly (drosophila) grow, depending on species or breed, up to 3.5 cm long and approx. 1 mm thick. The male has a black end segment, the female a brown end segment. Approximately the same-sized maggots hatch from the approx. 0.55 mm long and 0.2 mm wide white eggs, which grow to approx. 5 mm long after three molts. Breeding with NEKTON-Drosophila-Zuchtkonzentrat is very easy and does not require much effort. A new formula is prepared without cooking. Use: 1 part NEKTON-Drosophila-Zuchtkonzentrat is mixed or stirred briefly with 1.5 - 2 parts warm water (22-25 °C) - and then the breeding paste is ready. It couldn't get easier than this! No complex cooking, no odors when preparing the paste.
Adding a few drops of vinegar (fruit vinegar) accelerates breeding. The thickness of the paste can be controlled by adding water. The prepared paste will liquefy again after a few days. This is intended to provide optimal living conditions for the maggots.
The room temperature for breeding should be approx. 22-25 °C. Egg deposition by the fruit flies ceases at higher temperatures.
