Mineral Lick Block for Rodents Vitapol ZVP-7001 — Calcium Salt Block (for small rodents)

Mineral Lick Block for Rodents Vitapol ZVP-7001 — Calcium Salt Block is a complementary feed formulated for small pet rodents such as hamsters, mice and gerbils. The compact salt block provides a concentrated source of dietary calcium and other minerals intended to support skeletal strength, normal tooth wear and electrolyte balance when offered alongside a regular diet. The product is designed for use in cages and enclosures and can be mounted or placed where animals can access it safely.

Advantages

The calcium salt block supplies an accessible and long-lasting source of minerals without introducing wet or sticky residues in the cage. Its hard, compact form encourages gnawing that helps maintain tooth length and condition. The formula supports physiological needs for calcium and essential minerals while remaining simple to store and handle, making it a practical supplement for routine husbandry of small rodents.

Suitable for

• Hamsters
• Mice
• Gerbils
• Other small pet rodents requiring supplementary calcium and minerals

Key specifications

• Form: solid lick block suitable for cage placement
• Main function: source of dietary calcium and minerals
• Intended species: small rodents (hamsters, mice, gerbils and similar)
• Usage: complementary feed to regular diet

How to use

Place the mineral lick block in the animal's enclosure where it is easily reachable and stable to avoid accidental tipping. Offer the block continuously as a complementary feed alongside the regular balanced diet; animals will self-regulate their intake. Replace the block when it becomes excessively worn, soiled, or depleted. Ensure fresh water and the usual complete food are available at all times.

Usage recommendations

Use as a supplementary source of calcium and minerals rather than a primary food source. Monitor overall diet to avoid excessive mineral intake, particularly in animals receiving fortified feeds. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct moisture and contaminants.
