Supplement Confusion

[ApocalypseUK]

Hey guys just a quick question to deffo make sure I'm getting things right.

I am using a Arcadia 5.0 UVB tube light, with an Arcadia reflector, with Arcadia lighting controller.

For supplement wise at the min I have only it's like an all in 1 supplement which I brought from a really well known Reptile shop and the owner there really knows his stuff and also owns and breeds yemens and panthers himself and for supplemt wise he recommend Nutrobal: A vitamin/mineral/calcium balancer which is basically all you need he said supplement wise as it does it all for you in a sence its a multivitamin supplement used to dust onto the insects.

so I brought this http://www.vetark.co.uk/images/postprocessed/nutrobal6091_13.jpg
which is exactly what he recommended

so basically here's my question do you think I'll need any other supplements as at the min im having a little bit of confusion??

even though he told me I would only really need this and its what he use's I've got something in my head telling me I need some other supplement :S

thanks again guys

Here is what has been talked about lots of times on this forum. Follow what the care sheets say. They are the basics of what works to keep a healthy chameleon. You can sway from this, but this has been proven time and time again to be the best schedule for supplements.

Calcium (without D3) at every feeding
Multivitamin 2 times per month
Calcium (with D3) 2 times per month

Remember the Caresheets are your best resource.

Nutrobal isn't great for them. They need calcium on every feeding and giving nutrobal every feeding will be giving too much D3 and vitamins.

I use the schedule mentioned above and it has worked for me for a good five or six years.

I have used Nutrabol for years, but research has moved on and no longer feel comfortable using it. I only used it every 7-10 days with plain calcium every feed. I now use Komodo cricket dust which is plain calcium every feed. Reptivite without d3 twice a month and repti calcium twice a month.
