Zoo Med Dr. Turtle® Slow-Release Calcium Block

Overview

Zoo Med Dr. Turtle® is a slow-release calcium block designed to condition water and provide essential calcium for healthy shell growth in aquatic turtles. As the block dissolves, it releases calcium into the water, helping to maintain proper mineral balance and supporting strong shell and bone development.

Simple to use—just place a Dr. Turtle® Block in your turtle’s water supply and let it work naturally. For optimal results, pair with Zoo Med ReptiSun® 5.0 or 10.0 UVB lamps and Repti Tuff Splashproof Halogen Lamps to ensure your turtles receive the necessary UVB exposure and warmth for proper calcium metabolism.
