Suplements recomendation
 
I am in the process of purchasing some suplement for my torts. I have used NUTROBOL but as soon as they sniffed the feed + the suplement they shyed away and didnt eat.
Is there another type of supplement that anyone can recomend that would give my torts the required nutrients etc.
thanks

Ross, Do you find that they prefer the Nekton?
I have the same problem as Sue with them not liking the Nutrobal x

Hi, do you use the Nekton MSA or Nekton Rep? The MSA seems to be mainly minerals and does not contain the vit A which I think :?: is what smells so bad. Most of mine don't like the nutrobal either so I started using the vetark BSP drops in every other bath + some calcium but this is only multi-vits and not minerals as well. I need to find some minerals without D3 added again.

This website seems to give good detail about all the different Nekton mixes you can get. www.nyworms.com/nekton.htm

I wonder if Nekton Rep smells :twisted: like Nutrobal?

I have looked at the NEKTON on E-Bay and there are a few diferent ones so wondered which one is the best for an all round supplement.
thanks

I use Nekton MSA but prior to this switched to buying smaller pots of Nutrabal as I think it gets smellier the longer you keep it.

Hasnt got D3 but mine really like the tortoise world, ultima organic calcium mix which is a mix of cuttlefish/limestone flour & oystershell, a 3rd of each. Have had good results with females laying after feeding this too.

I have now bought some NEKTON MSA so we shall se if they shy away that.
thanks for the suggestions I will post the result as soon as.
