I need help on Supplement
- Thread starter cham702

Most people use a phosphorus-free calcium powder at most feedings...a phos.-free calcium/D3 powder twice a month and a vitamin powder containing a beta carotene source of vitamin A twice a month since beta carotene won't build up in the system. If you need to provide prEformed vitamin A, it can be given using a different vitamin powder less frequently so that you don't overdose the chameleon.
Calcium, D3, vitamin A and phos. are all important players in bone health and need to be in balance.
Gutloading, UVB light and temperature are all important in the health of the chameleon too.

I use a calcium powder (RepCal brand) on every cricket and superworm. Not heavily coated, just lightly dusted. I use calcium with D3 (again repcal brand) once or twice a month. I use a vitamin supplement (also repcal brand)once or twice a month also, but not the same day as the D3. I feed my roaches dog food kibbles twice a year, in order to provide a limited amount of real Vitamin A to the chameleons, because my vitamin supplement only has beta carotene (which is safer but some say not as effectve).
