I have a healthy 3.5 year old bearded dragon. He has been eating dubia roaches as a staple the whole time. I usually dust with repashy calcium plus with every feeding. My wife is sick of having a dubia colony in our garage so I want to switch to BSFL as a staple. From what I have read I shouldn't have to dust the BSFL but should I add any calcium or vitamins to his veggies?
Do I need to supplement with any vitamins?

You don't need to supplement the veges. Just offer a variety of fresh items in the salads and they should provide the needed nutrients. The supplements are to make up for nutrients that are lacking in the bugs that are typically included in the wild. BSFL are a good option, but I would rotate to a few different bugs once in a while to keep offering a variety. Having some hard shelled bugs once in a while can help keep their teeth and gums healthy vs always offering soft bugs.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
