Great article from the reptile magazine. I completely agree. I wish the information got out to more people regarding the importance of balance. Thanks for posting it. Tracie

Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingIt's worth noting that while the discussion points based on other publications are probably quite relavent the UVb portion of the above paper ( https://www.vitamindwiki.com/dl959 ) failed to be replicated recently. ( http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1 ... 12728/full ).
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingThanks so much for posting this, bookmarked it...

Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingI have a question. I was looking at the Repashy calcium plus. It says use with every feeding. Would this be every day every feeding?
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosing
Yes dust bugs lightly and evenly at every feeding every day. It only needs to be added to bugs, not salads. ![]()
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingIt is really helpful. Thanks for sharing that link of the article.
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingA little bit of biochemistry regarding calcium, UVB & vitD3 : http://www.uvguide.co.uk/vitdpathway.htm , worth adding this here for completeness I think.

Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingIs it necessary to give vitamin dosage to my reptile? If yes then what are the original means of vitamin instead of artificial dosage.
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosing
A few things are different that necessitate supplements. First our dragons get less variety of insects and plants to eat, and those insects get less variety to eat themselves. Also nature is a bit dirty, but dirt and such can contribute useful minerals from the soil. Finally in the wild many animals are known to seek out vitamins and minerals from unusual places, such as eating clay, chalk or animal bones.
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingHi there
I have an 8 week old bearded dragon called Mia ![]() Everything is good but just after some advice on supplements, I have vetark Calci-dust vetark nutrobal and reptivite wo D3 I have been dusting first feed(crickets) with Calci-dust 5 days a week and 2 days nutrobal do I need to use the Reptivite ? Also I was told to get Verm x and do this 3 days a week just a bit confused of what and when I should be giving her things :-/ Your advice would be great ![]()
Re: Expert view on vitamin dosing/overdosingSo if I am understanding the article correctly having a daily dose of vitamin/minerals along with a small daily of calcium and D3 is okay and better than giving larger doses less often?
I am at the moment feeding my Dragon dusted veggies and Worms with a 3 days of Calcium and D3 and 3 day of dusted Vitamin mineral mix is this okay? Thanks again for feed back.
