My Dusting Schedule

This is what I use w/ my schedule

Everyday: Rep-Cal Calcium w/ NO VIT D3 Phosphorus Free

1st & 3rd Sunday of the month: Rep-Cal Herptivite Multivitamin W/ Beta Carotene

2nd & Last Sunday of the month: Rep-Cal Calcium w/ VIT D3 Phosphorus Free

When you dust your insects, you don't want to turn your feeder insects into white ghosts lol. Just a small amount so they look "dusted" with the supplements.

no no no.. Calcium W/ D3 2x a month, Multi-vitamin 2x, calcium W/O D3 every feeding. Make sure your not using the D3 at the same time as the multi-vitamin, because the multi-vitamin has D3 in it as well. you should also feed them other prey besides crickets. what are you gut-loading your crickets with?

 

[carol5208]

most of us use the d3 twice a month or so. I would get the Minerall Outdoor forumla with no d3 and use that at every feeding. If you have the d3 one, then you must have the indoor formula.

it depends on what multi you are using. I use Herptivite, and to my knowledge it does not contain d3.

I use the indoor miner-all also... it dose say to use every feeding for new borns to juveniles ... i don't use it every feeding for my little guy but i do use it more then twice a month.. it is very low in D3 than most the other brands.. 4,400.00 mg. I think others are as high as 30,000... correct me if im wrong plz

would this be the same for young chams like mine

 

[nightanole]

Its good for all chams of any age.

 

[SouthCaliChameleon]

Can someone post what some of the other brands have in mg for D3... Im thinking since miner-all has such low D3 that.. maybe twice a month isn't enough.. I believe the other brands are a lot higher in D3...

Quite a bit more.... So i ask again... is using miner-all twice a month enough... as of now i've been using it about twice a week..

 

[nightanole]

Its more of a backup than a necessity. Back in the 90's i just used minerall indoor, no non d3 calcium. its why its ONLY recommended 2x a month. There is one more out there that has such a low d3 you could use it daily, but i forgot the name.


REPTI CALCIUM WITH D3 10,390 IU

Mineral indoor can be used weekly - it has low amounts of D in it.
A calcium powder that does not contain phosphorous or vitamins can be used more often.

Twice a month with this product is likely not enough.
Once or twice a week is fine (if your cham isnt house in natural outdoors light).

no no no.. Calcium W/ D3 2x a month, Multi-vitamin 2x, calcium W/O D3 every feeding. Make sure your not using the D3 at the same time as the multi-vitamin, because the multi-vitamin has D3 in it as well.

THis is not necessarily correct. Every brand of supplement is different.
