Hi my beardie, SJ, is 4 years old now and for the first time I've seen him experience some muscle spasms. Naturally, I freaked out, knowing the early signs of MBD. I believe it's due to the fact that I didn't realize how long the same ReptiSun UVB light was in place. I believe I left the same one in the tank for about 10 months and I know I'm supposed to change it out every 6. I just changed the light; however, it got me thinking that maybe I need to be doing more for his health. I never gave him supplements because he always ate his veggies and roaches, plus sometimes I think the synthetic supplements on the market aren't effective. This is why I'm here. I came across these two links (one a whole food multivitamin for beardies and a calcium-only supplement with the thought that all D3 should come from the UVB bulb). Would love some advice on whether the multivitamin is worth it and if the levels/percentage of vitamins/minerals are adequate. Also, thoughts on the calcium supplement in addition to the multivitamin (or vice versa)? Feel free to let me know if I'm naive and should just use the standard Rep-Cal supplements.
