Supplement question

[Ramrod]

Just wondering if there would ever be a chance of overdosing on "all in one" supplements.
A cham that eats 3-4 crickets a day verses one who eats 8-10 per day. Obviously one is getting more supplement than the other.

What type of all in one supplement?

Probably means repashy

Yup, Repashy. I use it but just a thought that came to mind and was wondering how a person would know if cham was getting proper amounts.

The repashy calcium plus lo-d?


That’s a good question. But I guess the real question is what are the proper amounts for a chameleon.

 

[Lennoncham]

For the original question I’m not quite sure but I don’t think the amount the Cham eats will change if it can overdose. The risk of overdose is with to much fat soluable vitamins so it depends if you are feeding foods that make the Cham fat. But then again I’m not sure because @jamest0o0 confused me about this his recent thread.

Edit : so after a little reading I’m not sure it’s the food themselves that make the Cham fat but overfeeding the Cham.

So now I’m even more confused. Since fat soluable vitamins work with fat would a fat chameleon burn the vitamins off quicker or slower?

Sorry I know I’m mixing up your thread.

Honestly I'm not sure, but I would think that they would be slower if the chameleon was obese.

Ok so from all the reading about fat soluble vitamins I keep seeing that they are better absorbed into the bloodstream when taken with fatty foods. So this would lead into @jamest0o0 thread about fatty feeders. I think if you are going to be using an all in one supplement it would be better to feed more fatty foods to help the vitamins get absorbed.

My thoughts exactly about it. Probably good practice to give them with a superworm or similar
