Question about supplements.. don't wanna really over/under do things for my new beardie.. picked him up on Saturday. used the search function.. but seemed to be a mixed bag of answers.
He's housed in a 36x18x18 exo-terra. I have a T5 Reptisun 10.0 HO Tube mounted inside the tank via the screen top and zip ties. I got my measuring tape out and It's about 8-10" away from the highest point the dragon can bask at..
I'm using Rep-Cal Calcium w/ Vitamin D3 and Herptivite. I been able to attempt 2 live feeding sessions a day since I'm using crickets and work first shift, so he ain't really ready for breakfast by the time I leave.. and only tends to eat 3-5 in the afternoon.. not the 50-100 I've read everywhere. I have 400 small dubias coming though so I can leave them out alongside his greens while I'm gone at work.
Given the UVB I'm using.. should I be dusting with Calcium w/ D3 5 days a week and Herptivite the other 2? Or should I be doing w/ D3 for 3 days.. without 2 days.?
also this is probably a stupid question.. but with the Dubias will they move around in the bowl to at least catch the dragons attention?
