Calcium

[neuce]

Has anyone ever tried villa food spray calcium supplement? No pet shops have calcium without d3 so that's what I'm using as of now.

Other than the spray, I haven't found any calcium supplements without D3 at pet stores either, so I think I'll probably end up getting that. How long have you had it?

That website was really helpful, I've been looking for calcium without D3 everywhere! Have you ever used Rep Cal, and would you recommend it?

I've only had it about a week and he seems to like it pretty well. I have rep cal with d3 it just seems to come off most of my feeders before he eats em.

Just make sure to read how much calcium and/or d3 is in the product. Amounts vary alot, and you could be over or under supplementing

I recommend rep cal

Well what would you say is a good amount for a veiled male he eats about 15 crickets 3 dubia and 3 or 4 phoenix worms a day

I think I'm going to buy that until I can order a calcium supplement w/out D3, I have been wondering if it actually works but since it seems to be okay for you I'm sure it'd work as a temporary thing! Out of curiosity, how often do you give him calcium with D3 as well as calcium without D3, and how much does he eat when you give him the supplements? I'm very confused about the amount/type of vitamins I'm supposed to be giving my cham and I'm trying to figure it out, it'd really be appreciated! Some people say calcium five days a week, D3 once or twice a week, other people say twice a month, so I'm torn. I'm going to see a vet to ask about it this week as well.

 

[neuce]

I give the calcium daily and calcium with d3 once a week and same with the multiple vitamins

My chameleon only eats four crickets a day, either that or around 10 mealworms, would that affect the amount of calcium and D3 he needs? He is also almost constantly under the UVB light during the day and I take him outside sometimes. He doesn't like fruits or vegetables, but his crickets are gut loaded with the food you can get from the pet store. I'm not really sure if I'm oversupplementing him, I guess I'm a little paranoid about MBD.
