Exo Terra Electrolyte Supplement 120ml

Exo Terra Electrolyte Supplement is a liquid electrolyte and Vitamin D3 supplement formulated for reptiles. It provides important minerals including potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium, helping support normal hydration and mineral balance.

Electrolytes can be particularly useful during periods when an animal’s hydration and mineral requirements may be increased, such as after transportation, egg laying or other periods of physical stress.

The formula also contains Vitamin D3, which plays an important role in calcium metabolism and the maintenance of healthy bones and muscles.

Bottle size: 120ml

Supporting Hydration & Electrolyte Balance

Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals involved in numerous normal bodily functions, including fluid balance, muscle function and nerve activity.

Reptiles can lose water and electrolytes during dehydration, so maintaining appropriate hydration is an important part of good reptile husbandry.

Exo Terra Electrolyte provides a combination of:

Potassium • Magnesium • Sodium • Calcium

The liquid formula is simply added to the animal’s drinking water according to the recommended dosage.

Exo Terra Electrolyte Supplement With Vitamin D3

Exo Terra Electrolyte also contains Vitamin D3, which helps reptiles absorb and utilise calcium effectively.

Vitamin D3 is therefore important for normal calcium metabolism and healthy skeletal development.

However, supplementation shouldn’t be considered a replacement for appropriate UVB lighting in species that require UVB exposure. Correct lighting, temperature, diet, calcium provision and supplementation all form part of maintaining healthy calcium metabolism in captive reptiles.

When Can Exo Terra Electrolyte Supplement Be Useful?

The supplement can be incorporated into an appropriate husbandry and supplementation programme to help maintain hydration and mineral balance.

It may be particularly useful during periods such as transportation, following egg laying or other situations where an animal has experienced increased physical demands.

If a reptile is persistently dehydrated, lethargic, refusing food or showing signs of illness, supplementation shouldn’t be used as a substitute for identifying the underlying cause or obtaining appropriate veterinary advice.
