supplements for baby???

[shmeenakoz]

So the countdown has begun. Baby should be here just after first of the year!!
I am now ready to shop for my supplements but not sure what is best for my baby panther. I see a lot of people here use Repashy Cal Plus. Do I use this and also use Repashy Cal w/o D3 and another w/D3? I guess my question is...Does Cal Plus have D3? Now if I use a D3 from Repashy should I buy LoD or HyD? What multivitamin do I use with these also, if any? Thanks for looking and for any replies!

Very exciting! I "lightly" dusted with 2 kinds of supplements. When your chameleon is young you will use plain calcium (no d3) at just about every feeding...... if you skip one or two days a month that's ok. You will also need Reptivite with d3 twice a month. Below I have my blog for new keepers. I have links in my blog with pictures of these supplements and where you can buy them.

Thank You jannb!! I will check out your blog. I just worry about low D3 amounts since I am in north east Ohio, our sun sucks up here!! I also wonder if I should change my reptisun UVB from the 5.0 i have in there now to the 10.0 before he gets here for the winter months. I hear the screen keeps out a TON of the rays they need.

In a small to medium cage the 5.0 will be fine. When you upgrade to a 48 inch high that would be a good time to switch to the 10.0.

how very exciting for you
If you go with the Repashy Calcium plus (which does have D3) as your vitamin supplement, get the new LOW D version if you intend to use it daily or frequently. If you get the regular one, don't use that every day but rather instead get a vitamin free calcium/mineral supplement for the rest of the time.
remember that how you gutload and the type of feeder prey bugs you offer also factors into this (some need no supplement at all).
