Multi vitamin is generally just done once monthly on all of that days feeders just like you would use calcium. Lightly dusted.

Then vitamins you have to worry most about overdoing are the fat soluble ones like vitaminD3 and prEformed vitamin A. Beta carotene (prOformed) sources of vitamin A shouldn't be able to be overdosed.

Please read up on supplementation. I'm not saying this to be a jerk, but I asked these same questions and got a wide response. The rule of thumb from my reading and responses is:

• Dust daily with Calcium without D3
• Dust every two weeks with Calcium with D3
• Dust with Multivitamin every two weeks

You should lightly dust all the crickets he eats/ or that you feed him.

The other option is to get an all in one supplement like Rapashy Calcium Plus. I use this daily and no longer have to worry about schedule, just dust his food every day.

Cheers.

once monthly

My mistake I meant twice monthly or once every two weeks.

So if i start dusting with the repashy calcium plus, theres no need for multi-vit every 2 weeks?

That's what I've been told, by both the forum and the breeder of my baby Cham, Sherman..
