New to the Cham World

[raconthemoon]

Hi everyone I am new to the hobby and I wanted to get input on vitaims. What do you find to work best for you and how often do you supplement? I have a 5 month old panther cham (attached pics). Also if you have any other inputs please let me know. Again this our first time owning a Chameleon. Thank you and looking forward to this new group of friends.

Welcome to the Chameleon Forums. I use RepCal. You should use calcium without D3 at just about every feeding, calcium with D3 twice a month and a multiple vitamin once or twice a month.

Hi and welcome to the forum
Besides calcium and vitamin supplements, do you know how to 'gut load' your
crickets and such?
That is equally important, if not more so, then supplements.

If you don't know how, just read sandrachameleon blog

Hello and welcome Congrats on your little Chameleonaire, he looks great

 

[ChameleonMom]

He's beautiful!!

As for supplements, I use RepCal (plain) Calcium at every feeding, RepCal Calcium w/D3 twice a month and Herptivite Multivitamin twice a month as well! Generally I give the twice a month supp's on Sundays, alternating the Cal w/D3 one Sunday and Herptivite the next Sunday then back to Cal w/D3 the next, and so on! In between the Sundays, plain Calcium. Hope this makes sense.
