Reviewing My Supplement Schedule

[Ellron]

I just wanted to review my Supplement schedule now that Walter is a little older, 6 months now.
My current schedule is:

Week One:

Mon. Cal w/o D3
Tues. Cal w/o D3
Wens. Cal w/o D3
Thurs. Cal w/o D3
Fri. Cal w/o D3
Sat. None
Sun. Cal w/ D3

Week Two:

Mon. Cal w/o D3
Tues. Cal w/o D3
Wens. Cal w/o D3
Thurs. Cal w/o D3
Fri. Cal w/o D3
Sat. None
Sun. Herptivite

Week Three:

Mon. Cal w/o D3
Tues. Cal w/o D3
Wens. Cal w/o D3
Thurs. Cal w/o D3
Fri. Cal w/o D3
Sat. None
Sun. Cal w/ D3

Week Four:

Mon. Cal w/o D3
Tues. Cal w/o D3
Wens. Cal w/o D3
Thurs. Cal w/o D3
Fri. Cal w/o D3
Sat. None
Sun. None

So how does that look?
Its a male 6 month old veiled chameleon. He rarely goes outside.


All of these are Repcal. I am using Red Leaf Lettuce and Apple as gutload. I'm going to start to use some citrus to up the Vit. C intake.

that is about the schedule I am on and mine is 9 months old. I think as they get older even every other day on the calcium w/o d3.

 

[Harland Williams]

Wow nice schedule,are you using the repcal brand because I'm getting a 4 month old Salvador baby (panther chameleon) and this looks like a really good schedule and thats the brand I have so I think I'll use this .

 

[jannb]

I would only use calcium with d3 twice a month and you can use Herptivite once or twice a month. I use a multi vit. twice a month.

 

[sandrachameleon]

Looks fine, but you need to consider factors like what do you gutload with, what brand of calcium w D3 supplement and what feeder types you are using

What multi-vitamin do you recommend Jann?

I use the Herptivite once a month and a multivitamin that Dr. Alfonso (my vet) makes once a month.

 

[Ellron]

Im getting a large ficus soon, he will be spending sometime outside.
I heard if they get one hour a week outside they dont need any Calwith D3.
Is that correct?

My guys go out for about an hour 5 or 6 days a week and I still lightly dust with d3 calcium twice a month.

Ok, Ill keep that in mind.

Is there a good one that you can get online or at a store?

If I didn't have Dr. Alfonso I'd just use the Herptivite twice a month. It has the beta carotene that they need.

 

[Ellron]

Ok, will do!

 

[Thompson]

I have herptivite but I never used it. Is this multivitimin supplement better than the on that Sticky Farms makes?

Both are good. Both use beta carotene rather than preformed vitamin A.

Herptivite is dusted on prey.
Sticky Tongue Farms VIT-ALL is peridocially fed to prey.

If I had both, I might alternate and use Herptivite one month, and include vit-all in my gutload the following month.
