Posted by: tripletoes at Sun Mar 23 17:58:30 2008 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by tripletoes ] so i was reading "the tortoise and turtle feeding manual" by a.c. highfield. at the begining of the book there is a section that discusses nutritional disorders and vitamid d and ultraviolet light. it says "animals in their natural habitat are extreamly unlikely to suffer hypovitamintosis-d3. deficiencies are posible in captive animals which are deprived of access to sunlight or a sutable u.v. source of sufficent intensity, e.g. truelight, zoomed 2.0-5.0, or blacklight." now this was origanly printed in 1988 and was revised in 2000 so i am sure it is out dated and better lights are now available. but did any body ever do this or see it? do blacklights even give off any vitamins? | ||
