You have a uv tube - he won't die, ok? Can you get him outside for some Sun after he's had a few days with no handling to settle in? That would help matters............He will get some Calcium from his food so gutload those Crickets up with the Calciumiest flakes you can find.........

Never too young to get some Sun.......
Make sure he's secure at all times.....eyes on him every sceond.......they are very sneaky little things, and fast when they think they can get away.........

Get online and order from LLL i bet they can get it to you quicker than 10 days! And like the previous poster said he aint gonna die without calcium in 1 week. As long as you have good gutloaded feeders and a proper 5.0 uvb tube he'll be fine. Buy some calci-worms those things are almost all calcium and are great for small juvies.

the sun isnt going to do much the op has calcium with d3 seem they need just plain calcium.

In a pinch (I think they have sugar in them so you don't want to do it for long) you can use fruit flavored TUMS that you crush to a powder. (I said fruit flavored because the peppermint would definitely not be a good option!)

Yes, you are, I know - but Sun is still fun
The new cham has had 3 days of vit+d3, so a bit of Sun will make sure it all gets in.........i guess. Calciworms is a great idea esp. if you can get them quicker than the powder, thanks TPM......

Okay so I'm gonna just throw this out there.. Before I set up my awesome supplement schedule I use now... I never knew you couldn't use +D3 every day... Stan had it every feeding for a month... And is doing just fine... A few more days of it can't hurt and if your that worried about it only leave the UVB on most of the day, giving him some breaks in between to adjust it... When we put them in the sun they produce WAY more D3 than just under their light and with supplementation.... JMHO

Agreed. 100%. You wouldn't recommend every day for 2 weeks now though, would you?
