Hello everyone!
Chevy is approximately just shy of 6 months old, has MBD (not severe thank god). I have been working with a lot of people on this forum since Friday evening since I found out through here he has MBD. So I want to get some advice on what you think about incorporating the supplements into his diet to re-gain his health as much as possible. In the beginning I was only giving him crickets and with no supplements due to miss-information when he was bought, I should have done the research myself, but now I know and am determined to give him proper care no matter what the outcome is.
Chevy now has wax worms, crickets, and super worms. Slowly building his buffet of food. Should have roaches here soon. Keeping all of them gut loaded as I learned on here from Jan. What I was wondering is this. Chevy was found to have MBD. Not severe, but never the less he has it. He is now on calcium supplements (I was given powder or liquid), I was given both powder and liquid to see which one he will tolerate, and liquid is definitely a no, so I have been using the powder, a multi-vitamin, the Calcium I have is with D3 and just Calcium alone. From what I understand, I should lightly dust what ever he is eating at every feeding with the Calcium powder without D3, is that correct? Also - the Calcium with the D3 and the multi-vitamin....When and how often should I give that to him? I have figured out to rotate his food such as:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday - Crickets and maybe 1 super worm
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday - Roaches and maybe some worms.
Sunday - kind of free for all. Maybe ill make that day a surprise, Lol.
What do you think? I know that they need good dose of vitamins, but at the same time, I am trying to nurse him back into health and don't want to overdose. If you think I should adjust, please let me know. Any and all advice is great.
