Im providing my baby cham with a 5.0 UVB bulb 12hrs a day combined with a 2.0 UVA bulb. Im trying to use calcium without D3 everyday but since Im feeding her very small prey such as fruit flies im worried she dosent get the amount of calcium she needs :( Ofcourse im afraid of her getting MBD...
 
I read your earlier post and jannb's response to you, you should check out her blog on keeping female veileds. I have a four month old, she eats fruits and veggies off a small plate for me. I give her finely chopped mustard greens and 1 diced raspberry, I sprinkle a little calcium on the fruit and spritz it with water. I make sure she can move in her enclosure. Trees are great but Frita was too small to get through all the leaves and twigs, I pruned it lightly so she could see the top from the bottom and vise versa. Plus a fake vine runs around it so she can run around, a small long wooden rod sticks up out of the dirt that she can perch and bask on. She might stay in one spot because she doesn't have many options to choose from or ways to get around that make her feel secure in transit. Frita is sneaky. Creeping through leaves up sticks and through vines to one perch from another, but all of these little highways need to be accessible and not clogged by excess twigs and leaves and foliage. Frita actually almost fell when I first put her fig tree in with her, it was in watching this I realized pruning out some of the branches was a must so could actually climb it. You seem to care about your veiled a lot. I would try to incorporate veggies and fruits in her diet. Mix up some calcium water and spritz them. :)
