Supplement confusion/questions

[Flamegurl]

Need to know what to use and when. Became confused when doing further research.

I have a 4/5 month old panther cham. Everyday he gets crickets and roaches dusted with the calcium WITHOUT D3. And am dusting food with Multivitamins once every 2 weeks. Do i need to be adding the Calcium WITH D3?? Am i doing it right? Attached is pic of what i currently have. First time cham owner, and cham is slowly but surely bonding with me.

Sounds like you're on the right track! Use the "without D3" daily, the multivitamin (blue one) twice a month, and the "with D3" twice a month as well

Did you look on your vitamin container to see if it has D3 in it?

One has D3 and one is with out, as mentioned above. Was confused on when to add the WITH D3 supplement.

The three you're showing are all vitamins. Calcium is a mineral....just in case you didn't know.
I use...Rep-Cal calcium without D3 at almost every feeding lightly and Rep-Cal calcium with D3 twice a month lightly and Herptivite vitamins twice a month lightly. So..it's a phosphorus-free calcium powder at almost every feeding and a phosphorus-free calcium/D3 powder twice a month and a vitamin powder with a beta carotene prOformed source of vitamin A (no D3) twice a month...and then if you're concerned about vitamin A, use one like Reptivite with prEformed vitamin A in it once a month instead of the one with beta carotene in it...so that would mean once a month with Herptivite and once a month with Reptivite instead of twice with Herptivite..
Does that help??

This image, shows what you recommend. It also says for those under "natural sunlight conditions"-what does that mean? Have i not been giving my cham calcium this whole time??? Repitvite misleading me?

 

[kinyonga]

I don't know all of what's in the two reptivite bottles you showed...but if it doesn't say calcium...then no...you haven't been giving it calcium.

By saying "under natural sunlight conditions" i think they're meaning if your chameleon is getting UVB from outside...because if it is you don't need to give it D3 in the calcium.
