first baby ambilobe panther

[richardspencer1186]

So yeah, got my first panther today and apart from being excited, Ive got myself confused about the whole supplementing thing, so your advice is appreciated!
I was told in the shop that I had to supplement 3 things: calcium, calcium+D3 and multivitamins. I got home though and I only have 2 lots of calcium.
I have the following products:
Zoo med repticalcium without d3
Zoo med heptivite reptile vitamins with d3
Am I missing something? If so, what?!

Thanks in advance for the help!

Welcome to the forums and congrats on your first panther. Is sounds like you have the calcium without D3 and the Calcium with d3 mixed with the multi vit.
Here's my blog for new keepers. You might find it useful.

Thanks for your reply, so I'm sorted then? Thanks for the link I'll check that out tomorrow as its past midnight! I'm right in thinking I give the repticalcium most days then the other like once a week?

Calcium without D3 at just about every feeding when a baby and multi vit and Calcium with D3 twice a month.

So just twice a month with the d3 and multivitamin combined one? Not 4 times as, to my mind, he'll be getting lower levels as its a combined d3/multivitamin?
Sorry if this sounds stupid,I just wanna get it right!

Correct and as he gets older and if he gets outside time you will give less. I have a section about this in my blog.

I got it, thanks for your help! I'm planning outside time, but the British summer will probably have other ideas! Meanwhile....my leopard gecko's going nuts, she's totally enthralled by the magical forcefield that is glass!
