Petco is HORRIBLE!

[SomeRandomPerson]

So I went to petco earlier today to return my mealworms and I wanted to look if they had more chameleons (I took the last one ) and I saw one... It was the most skinniest chameleon I've ever seen!! I felt soo sorry for it and I really wanted to buy it and take care of it but it's too expensive... Idk I just had to post this about petco... And this dumb lady told me to feed my chameleon with the D3 powder everyday... Won't that overdose the chameleon?

[Chameleon Punk]

that is for indoor chams

What about the daily calcium without D3 powder? Don't you have to use that daily?

 

[Chameleon Punk]

the cal without d3 is the same as with d3 the only diff is d3 lol...

d3 is a naturaly made chemical i guess that is made from sunligth exposure if your cham is inside the pure sunlight cant hit him/ here and that is why u need d3 if u keep your cham inside do u understand?

i dont mean to sound rude if i am im sorry.

 

[SomeRandomPerson]

Lol you dont sound rude at all anyways so does that mean I have to powder everyday without the D3 calcium?

I would not. I know some people suggest doing it every other day and do not see harm, but D3 can certainly build up in the system and cause harm. Many breeders suggest using a no D3 calcium most of the time, and one with D3 twice monthly and a multivite twice monthly until they are a good age/size and then dropping the D3 and multi to once monthly.

Sorry for the completely unuseful post but I think petco is so worse because it sounds like TEPCO !
