For what chameleon? If its a panther or veiled its to much. Use one of them one day a week then the other the next so you use each twice a month

 

[camimom]

You need to get a calcium without d3 powder. You can ge it from many of the site sponsors.

and as was stated, tahts too much d3 for a veiled or panther..


d3 should only be used twice a month on those species.

Ok thanks, He is a Veiled, I will do the 1st, 2nd-15th, 16th and I will get the powdered Calcium without D3... Can I just ask why the liquid calcium without D3 is not good for him everyday?

 

[chameleonkev]

I never seen the liquid calcium so don't have a comment and no it's better to go calcium with d3 on the 1st, vits on the 8th then calcium with d3 again on the 15th and vits again one week after an so on.beter to give them the week inbeteen each of these supliments rather than raming them full of them in one go an not offering them again for two weeks. Just make sure you use your calcium without d3 every other feed but I don't no about the liquid calcium I've never came across it before

Personaly, I'm against synthetic products. Just calcium sometimes on adults. Never D3
I prefer to have a goob UV source like a Powersun or Vitalux and provide plants rich in calcium and vitamins (mainly weeds) to insects.
I also give bees products: pollen, propolis, royal jelly and honig to my insects and sometimes, directly pollen, propolis and royal jelly to my chams.
It replaces synthetic vitamins supplements.

I'm conviced by the benefits of bees products on chams. In the wild, they must eat a lot of pollinators insects, including bees...

I got the same spray and asked about it in an earlier post. Really- their were mixed opinions about it on the forum, but in the end- Dusting crickets is a proven method to get him Calcium. This spray may not have Calicum in its most digestible form, or may not work as well, who knows, BUT why risk it! PLUS- you can see the calicum dust on the crickets/feeders; You can not see the spray on them. I'd say get rid of the spray (like I did ) and order a container of Calicum dust without D3.
