Calcium Powder - Essential Mineral Supplement

Calcium powder is a handy mineral supplement for isopods, millipedes, and other invertebrates. It provides an easy source of calcium, which helps support healthy moulting, strong exoskeleton development, and general growth.

I like to keep a calcium source available in most of my setups, especially for species that seem to enjoy more mineral-rich conditions. Some keepers prefer cuttlebone or coral bone, but calcium powder is useful when you want something that can be lightly dusted onto food or mixed through part of the substrate.

Calcium powder may also help buffer substrate acidity, which can support a more stable pH in mineral-rich setups. As with most supplements, you do not need loads — a little goes a long way.

Key Benefits:

  • Provides a readily available source of calcium
  • Supports healthy moulting and exoskeleton formation
  • Useful for species that benefit from mineral-rich conditions
  • Can be dusted onto food, mixed into substrate, or offered separately
  • Suitable for isopods, millipedes, springtails, and other detritivores

Usage Instructions:

Lightly dust a small amount over leaf litter, vegetables, or other food sources as needed. You can also mix a small amount into one area of the substrate or offer it in a small dish so your animals can use it when required.

Avoid using too much at once, as high mineral levels may affect substrate chemistry over time. I would always start with a small amount and adjust based on the species and setup.
