Healthly diet

[Beenletloose]

Hi guys
Just getting the hang of what I need for my panther Cham, but just want to run through the supplement side of things.

I have a UV lamp in the viv, which I'm going to replace this week, as not sure how old it is and have ordered reptisun 5 UVB

Is it correct I use
Calcium every day on the live food
Reptivite twice a month on live food

What amount do I use each time approx a teaspoon? Or less

My Cham doesn't eat every day, so wondering how this is poss?

Is it ok to dust the veg I give as a gut load or dust onto the livefood is better, or can I do a bit of both?

I use a home made dry mix for my geckos that the morio's eat which is dry fish flakes, oats and dry cat food?

Also I use bug burger for the morio's is this the same as giving reptivite, or can I do both, I know I have to be aware of overdosing on D3

So I use calcium
Reptivite
Bug burger
Homemade dry mix
Potato, carrot and apple as a gut load

Thanks guys my head aches

How old is your chameleon? If he's young you should dust every time he eats. Don't worry about dusting on the days he doesn't eat. He also needs d3. If your Reptivite contains D3 then you are set. You might find my blog for new keepers helpful. I have some additions items listed you can use for gut load.
Also, I wouldn't put the lights in the enclosure. He could get burned.

He is an adult chameleon, if I put the locusts in a bag with calcium dust, is just a very light dusting enough, as I tried earlier and it couldn't jump or climb, I think it was prob too much lol
