Multivitamins?

[Aceyourface]

I have noticed a lot of users are giving their beardie multivitamins as well as the calcium on live feeders. I have never heard of giving vitamins until this site. I am wondering what vitamins should I be giving Thor? She's I beleive considered a sub adult now shes 8 possibly 9 months old. She's never had any multivitamins just calcium with D3 on her crix and the correct greens according to the beautiful dragons list. So do I need them? If so is there a specific type and brand I should be using? How often should I use them? Also what about probiotics? Same idea? Or are those only used when they are on antibiotics?

I use RepCal Herptivite. You should be dusting his feeder insect one feeding a day 5 x week with the calcium, and 1 feeding a day 2 x week with the vitamins. This should continue until your dragon is a year old. Then it is cut down to 3 x week on the calcium and 1 x week for the vitamins.
I started on the probiotics while on meds. but now I give it to both my dragons about every couple weeks,, it is good for them.

www.bearded dragon.co has a lot of great beardie vitamins, calcium, probiotics, and medications at great prices. I personally have not yet ordered from them, but many people here have and give them great reviews. I will be ordering from them when I need them.
