Nekton Rep Elektrolyt
NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt is an electrolyte mixture specifically designed to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in reptiles. The body fluid in reptiles consists mainly of water and certain salts - electrolytes. Electrolytes are minerals that are electrically charged once they are dissolved in a liquid. The most important electrolytes in the body include the positively charged cations sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, as well as the negatively charged anions chloride, bicarbonate, and phosphate.
These electrolytes aid in the regeneration of nerve and muscle function and help maintain acid-base balance and water balance. Many reptiles suffer from chronic dehydration, caused by dry living conditions, inadequate drinking, low fluid intake, or illness-related fluid losses due to diarrhoea or blood loss. Various types of dehydration lead to the loss of not only water but also electrolytes.
NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt can be used either for bathing or added to drinking water.
Feeding recommendation
For bathing:
1g of NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt to 100 ml water (8 level measuring spoons or 1.5 teaspoons per 1 litre of water), once a week. For severely dehydrated animals, the dosage is 1.5g to 100 ml water (11.5 level measuring spoons or 2 teaspoons per 1 litre of water). Bathing can be done 2 to 3 times a week.
One level measuring spoon (enclosed) corresponds to 1.3g of NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt .
Add NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt to the water and thoroughly mix until the electrolyte mixture is completely dissolved (this process may take up to 5 minutes). Check the water temperature. Ensure that the water does not get into the animal's face.
As a drinking solution:
Dissolve 1g of NEKTON-Rep Elektrolyt in 100 ml of water; once a week.
