I have 3-4 month male veiled cham and im not so sure
how to go about giving him Calcium w/ D3 and Herp MultiVit.
The instructions say to mix.. but what would you guys recommend?
thanks.

Oh and i dont think hes a big fan of cricket, prefers meal worms.

Roaches are good.

Dont feed mealies aregularly, as they have a hard exo skeleton which can be hard to digest.

you need a calicum without d3, a calcium with d3, and a multivitamin.

all 3 should be in powder form. to use them, you get your bugs, put in a cup or bag, and sprinkle the powder on top, lightly dusting them (lightly)

 

[JGranados]

Thanks for the reply.

I've been using a baggy but how frequently should i use the Vit and Cal?

 

[camimom]

calcium without d3, every feeding.
calcium with d3, twice a month.
multivitamin twice a month.

here he is!

Get some big fat juicy bugs and fatten that little one up! hehe.

 

[pssh]

What brand of calcium with D3 are you using? You may want to use it more often than twice a month if it is a brand with a smaller amount of D3. If it's repcal, definitely use it twice a month.

 

[JGranados]

Yeah, both are Rep-Cal

Thanks!

His poop

First poop(s) since ive gotten him... i think

I know the darker one isnt good. the white seems alright.
the hard part is knowing which came first!!???

The pet store i got him from kept him in a glass cage.
i doubt they misted him 2-4 time day.

i remember going in to check on him at the pet store
and i guess the staff that he was sold cause they didnt see him
and they didnt mist the entire day until i asked if they did!

 

[JGranados]

poop shoot.....

every feeding.

Do not follow this advice.

If your cham doesnt eat the dusted bugs, then you are overdusting them. they should be a shade lighter than they are, not white.
