Fine calcium powder for dusting feeder insects, the simplest way to prevent calcium deficiency and metabolic bone disease in reptiles, frogs and invertebrate-eating pets.
Use plain calcium (without D3) for animals that have good UVB lighting, which lets them make their own vitamin D3. Lightly coat insects in a cup before feeding.
Why keepers use it
- Supports strong bones and healthy growth
- For animals kept under good UVB
- Fine powder sticks well to insects
- Essential for insect-eating reptiles and frogs
Pairs well with: Calcium Powder + D3, Feeder Woodies (Nauphoeta cinerea), UVB Light Tubes.

Our Surry Hills store is small, so we keep in-store stock deliberately limited. Not everything online is on the shelf, so call us on (02) 7813 9640 before visiting for a specific item.
All reptiles and amphibians are sold online only, due to permit requirements.
Visit us at Shop 5, 450 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010. Open Wednesday to Sunday.
Every live animal is checked before it leaves us and packed by an experienced keeper.
If your animal arrives dead, contact us within one hour of delivery with a photo, and we will send a replacement. You don’t pay shipping on the replacement. Photo helps us identify what caused death so we can help prevent it from happening again with your order, and others.
Someone needs to be home to receive the parcel. We can’t cover animals left at a depot, sent to an incorrect address, or reported more than an hour after delivery.
Reptiles and frogs: most states require a licence before you buy. After ordering, email your licence details to info@biotastudio.com.au or add them to your order notes. If we don’t have them, we’ll contact you by SMS or email before your order ships.
Insects, spiders and supplies: most don’t need a licence, but rules vary by state and species.
