Rep-Cal Foods Provide 100% Complete Daily Nutrition
Rep-Cal has combined the expertise of nutritional science with the best practical feeding
experience to produce diets for reptiles that are superior by all standards. Our staff of
veterinarians has thoroughly researched optimal vitamin and mineral levels for each
species of reptile. We use plant ingredients which are naturally high in protein and
fibers, and add all essential nutrients, including calcium and vitamin D3; and each pellet
contains the proper proportion of nutrients, so there is no need to worry about picky
eaters.

| Rep-Cal has
long been the industry leader in reptile nutrition, and no other company backs their
products with as much research and expertise. In addition to being nutritionally sound,
Rep-Cal diets avoid the problems associated with most commercial diets.
Problems with meal or mash diets:
- Dustiness irritates a reptile's respiratory tract
- Tendency to become trapped in crevices of the mouth and or teeth, which may lead to oral
health problems
Problems with compressed-pellet (alfalfa "semi-moist") diets
- Low-temperature binding fails to improve digestibility
- Decreased palatability associated with low temperature binding
Problems with table food diets
- Notoriously deficient in protein, fiber and calcium
Rep-Cal Foods are nutritionally complete, with the needs of individual species
carefully researched and tested. Our ingredients are gently cooked by a process called
extrusion to improve taste and digestibility. The extrusion process also heats the food to
kill bacteria, and allows for the formation of a pellet that isn't dusty.
Veterinarian-Tested, Reptile-Approved
In addition to nutritional quality, Rep-Cal has given careful attention to the appeal and
palatability of our foods. Our multi-colored foods mimic food which reptiles enjoy in the
wild and contain a natural blend of ingredients including papaya, mango, strawberry and
apple fiber. We tested several recipes on our animals in order to create foods which
even the pickiest eater will love.
The Most Researched And Tested Food Available
No other reptile food has this much research behind it. Guaranteed. Rep-Cal
Foods are formulated by leading reptile veterinarians and nutritionists. Each diet has
been tested for nutritional quality on our animals by means of complete physical
examinations, growth measurements, and blood analyses. Rep-Cal is continuing with
long-term feeding trials, as well as research in reptile nutrition, to ensure that our
products always provide the best possible nutrition for growth, reproduction and health.
We are confident that Rep-Cal Foods provide the highest quality of nutritional care
available.
