Supplements

[Nate135]

Hi,
I am a little confused on supplements and could use some help. From what I understand, calcium without D3 needs to be dusted on insects daily and calcium with D3 and a vitamin supplement need to be dusted on insects twice a month?
I would like to know if this is correct and what exact brands and supplements I should buy because I am confused. Thanks!

That's spot on and what brands do you have and how old is your Cham?

I'm planning on buying a 2 month old veiled from FL Chams in a month so I'm trying to make sure I have everything ready. I have everything but the supplements so any advice helps!

well I'm from the uk so arnt to sure what supplements are about for you but I will tell you this as most don't consider it, I don't dust with d3 untill the Cham is 5 months old, a lot of people use there older bulbs for there babies as they don't need to much d3 while young, infant over doing the d3 can cause problems and as I'm guessing your bulb is new I wouldn't use d3 calcium for two months, people will disagree with me but I no for a fact there are a couple of experienced breeders on here that will

Yes my UVB bulb is brand new. Do you have recommendations on what brands I should buy for calcium without D3 and vitamins? Also what brand should I buy when I start using D3?

Vitamins I've got reptivite an calcium at the moment I've got the zoo med ones witch arnt bad but I normaly use repashy but arnt sure if you can get that

All my supplements are exo terra brand

 

[Nate135]

Is the vitamin supposed to have D3 in it? Because the only vitamin supplements i can find also have D3

 

[chameleonkev]

Have a look for reptivite, that's a good vitamin powder, also nutrobol I think a lot of people use

Last question. Do I want vitamins with d3 or without d3 because I found both
