beginning supplement age

[salty dog]

When do you more experienced folks start supplementing your newbies???

 

[mkeBob]

Dust those fruit flies, bean beetles, little crickets and get small bsfl. Start now!

 

[salty dog]

Ok, thanks!! Dust with what?

 

[mkeBob]

I only use Repashy calcium Plus with low D. However, it depends on the species.

I have a 3 week old ambilobe I would have 2...one died upon emerging, my stupid ass emojis dont work fookin sad face

 

[mkeBob]

You could go with the Repashy.

Alot of people recommend that loD supp. Maybe I will just order it. I've been alternating with a miner-all outdoor, calcium with and without D, repashy superpig, and rep cal supervite....damn that was alot of typing.. lol..

Super easy to OD a baby. No supplements for the first month then start a every other day schedule at 1 month with the LoD.

 

[salty dog]

Ok, I'll wait 2 more weeks, much easier than alternating 5 different supplements

I've always supplemented my hatchlings from the very beginning.
I use RepCal phos free calcium lightly almost every day and RepCal phos free calcium/D3 twice a month lightly and Herptivite lightly twice a month. I gutload the insects well too.

I would start right away, but don't over do it. They eat a lot of small feeders at that age, so perhaps only supplement some of them each day.
