Hi. I'm confused a bit. I know I need Calcium D3 and Multivitamins, but do I need Calcium without D3? My beardie uses a 10.0 T5 HO Flourescent tube, right next to his basking spot. I'll give him The D3 5x A week (Mon-Fri.) and the Multiivitamin 2x (Weekends). So do I need calcium without D3?

You need calcium without d3, you'll want to alternate between the two. What i do is offer calcium without d3 3 times a week and calcium with d3 two times a week so they get a bit more d3 just in case the uvb isn't enough. Its also not enough d3 weekly for them to overdose on it after a while im pretty sure. However giving them d3 everyday/5 times a week can lead to an overdose.

That's the same question I answered in your other post here. Maybe the mods. will merge your 3 topics and all the info will be in the same place. :)

Sorry about that, it's just that I like asking different questions on different posts. Aso, whats the best brand to get that has Cacium without D3 (Ex. Zoo-Med, Rep-Cal)?

That's O.K, sometimes we just ant answers quickly or more than one opinion. And both of those brands are good, I've used both kinds.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
