Generally you want to dust insects with calcium 5 times a week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) and then dust with Multivitamins 2 times a week, (Saturday and Sunday)
If you have proper uvb you dont usually need any d3 added however i offer calcium with d3 on Thursday and Friday rather than calcium without d3 for now even with proper uvb tube lighting.

The supplements I have state on the label that contain "your pet's daily requirement of calcium, vitamins, minerals and trace elements." does this mean that I should use this for my baby's food every day ?

Can you post a picture of the supplement or tell me the brand of it? Multivitamins have vitamins, minerals and calcium but should only be used twice a week like i stated above.

I have no idea about that, i assume its just multivitamins and should be treated as such but i prefer using repti-cal for multivitamins since its a known good brand.

Ok, thanks for the advice anyway, it's a huge help.
I don't know that brand either, but if it says it contains calcium as well, then I'd treat it as an all-in-one. I would dust the bugs in a nice even coating of it at every meal.
