Oh, I'm glad this question was posted, as I noticed last night that the inside of Joyce's nostrils was white, and I was worried it might mean she was getting sick.
So my question on this is how I change my supplementation. I use TINY amounts when I supplement, and so far have only used the mutivitamin once in the three weeks I have had her, and the calcium with D3 has been used twice. I haven't used any calcium without D3 so far because the gutload I get from cricketfood.com has calcium in it, as does the hydrating gel I give the crickets. So am I overdoing the calcium within the gutloading? Or does it contain too many other vitamins and I need to start rotating it with other types of gutloading?
Right now Joyce eats about every two days (getting her big girl pants on and eating like an adult!), anywhere from 3-7 crickets each time, sometimes a couple of superworms instead of crickets (though she's not big on these so far). I've ordered silkworms but they aren't here yet, and have had the local petstore also order some other feeders for me (hornworms, butterworms). I'm considering ordering flies as well, and am trying (gulp) to work my way up to the concept of roaches.
She doesn't get much time outside right now, but has a Reptisun 5.0, and all her cage temps and humidity are on target.
Suggestions?
