Nekton Nutritional Supplements
for Birds, Reptiles and Sugar Gliders
There are many nutritional supplements and vitamins available for exotic pets. On paper, many of these supplements appear to be similar in content, but they are not similar in quality. Nekton Products are high-quality and extremely bio-available-- ie. they are easily absorbed and utilized by the organism that consumes the supplement. Many other supplements are not very bio-available and merely pass through the animal's digestive tract.
We are very pleased to offer the following select Nekton Products for sale to our clients and readers. U.S. Postal PRIORITY Shipping is $5 within the United States. For orders over $100 shipping is FREE. Orders are typically shipped within one business day. Sorry, we do not ship outside of the United States.

Birds
Many illnesses in birds result from a lack of proper nutrition. Seed-only diets are deficient in many vitamins and minerals. As a general rule, we recommend vitamin supplementation for all birds. Birds that consume a diet of greater than 50% pellets probably do not need supplementation.

is a special supplement designed to improve feather health, quality and
appearance. Nekton-BIO has ingredients similar to Nekton-S with the
addition of amino acids helpful in the production of feathers. Nekton-BIO
gives a bird a smooth shiny plumage. It strengthens and supports a bird
during the extreme physiological stress of molting. Nekton-BIO helps to
prevent and correct feather picking and chewing due to nutritional deficiencies.
We will frequently prescribe Nekton-BIO to birds that present with feather
picking and/or chewing problems, or to birds that are predisposed to these
problems.

Nekton-GELB Nekton-GELB Nekton-GELB Nekton-GELB Nekton-GELB Nekton-GELB Nekton-GELB
Nekton-GELB
("gelb" is the German word for "yellow") is a general purpose supplement
designed specifically to enhance the coloration of Yellow Canaries and other
birds with yellow plumage via the use of beta-carotene and other pigment
precursors. Birds are unable to produce their own pigmentation, so they
must obtain these pigments from their diet. The pigment precursors are
metabolized and incorporated into the feather during its development.
Without this supplementation, a bird's feathers will degenerate to a dull color.
Nekton-GELB provides an optimal benefit during the molt and growth of new
feathers. When not in molt, it is recommended to use Nekton-S or
Nekton-BIO.

designed to enhance the red coloration of Red Canaries and other birds with red
plumage via the use of canthaxanins. Nekton-R provides an optimal benefit
during the molt and growth of new feathers. When not in molt, it is
recommended to use Nekton-S or Nekton-BIO.

Nekton-LORI is a nectar diet designed specifically for Lories-- "the Brush-tongued Parrots". Nekton-LORI is a diet that is easy to prepare and feed. It provides nutrition that is very similar to the natural Lory diet. This is a high-quality diet that is highly bio-available. As a result, the diet metabolizes to a small amount of water and fecal matter, which is cleaner and more pleasant smelling than that produced by most Lory diets. Lories are difficult to feed, and this product goes a long way to improving Lory nutritional health.

Nekton-E
Nekton-E
is a potent Vitamin E supplement designed to increase fertility in birds.
We are now stocking this product due to the requests of MANY breeders.
Vitamin E deficiency has been shown to lead to such problems as decreased
fertility in hens and sterility in males. In addition, a lack of Vitamin E
in the hen can lead to early embryonic death in her eggs. As with any
other dietary supplement, use this product as directed. Excessive use of
such a potent product may be unhealthful.

Reptiles
Nekton-REP
Nekton-REP
is a general purpose dietary supplement providing vitamins, minerals and free
amino acids for reptiles and amphibians. Typically, Nekton-REP is
administered on food items. It may be sprinkled on fruits and vegetables
or, for carnivorous or omnivorous reptiles, it may be applied to prey items by
the "shake and bake" method (put the vitamin powder in a bag with the prey item
and shake). In some circumstances, it is beneficial to mix Nekton-REP with
water and soak the animal (this works well with sick tortoises).

Nekton-REP-Color
Nekton-REP-Color
is similar to Nekton-REP with the addition of carotenoids --canthxanthines and
apocarotinal-- which are an important group of natural reddish and yellow
pigments. These carotenoids serve to revive and enhance skin coloration.
Nekton-REP-Color allows colored reptiles and amphibians to obtain optimal
striking colors.
It is important to not overuse the Nekton-REP and Nekton-REP-Color Products. These are extremely potent vitamins.

Sugar Gliders
Nekton for Sugar Gliders
Nekton
for Sugar Gliders (Petaurus breviceps) is a complete nectar-based diet
supplemented with vitamins and minerals (macro and trace). Poor diet and
the lack of the proper vitamins and minerals are the number one reason that
Sugar Gliders become ill and potentially die. Unfortunately, there is a
lot of misinformation on the proper feeding of Sugar Gliders. The Nekton
Sugar Glider Diet should be fed two to three times weekly instead of the regular
diet of insects, larvae, fruits, vegetables, blossoms, and nectar.
This product is highly recommended for the health of your pet Sugar Gliders.
