hi guys, sry i know this is a very frequently asked question but im still unclear and rather confused abt this particular topic. I have to ask, is it safe if both the calcium and vitamin i used contains d3 since i read that too much d3 can be toxic? The calcium i was using was Repashy supercal HyD and the vitamin brand is zoomed's Reptivite with d3. Do i need to get a calcium w/o d3?
Also, i read that you should dust with calcium 6x times a week and vitamin once. But I ran out of calcium and my friend got me a repashy calcium plus HyD, which writes "calcium and vitamin supplement". How should i dust now? Or should I get another separate one?
Here are some things i thought i should let you guys know abt. I do not have access to a good UVB light. It's unfortunate but i do not have reptisun 10 since i live in Malaysia. I actually did managed to get it once(and it was super costly), but it didnt work. The moment i flipped the switch, it went out immediately Dad says the voltage thingy we run on is probably different, so i'm only using exoterra reptile uvb150. Im aware that coiled bulb is bad but it's the only one i could get. I do however let my beardies out in the sun for an hour almost everyday.
Having said all that, here's a summary(kinda) of my questions:
1) Do i need to get a calcium w/o d3? since both the supplements(vitamin &calcium) i have already contains d3. Not to mention not having a very good UVB light source.
2) How often should i dust if im using the repashy calcium plus HyD? or should i just get a separate calcium supplement?
Sorry for the long questions. :? Thx for bearing with me
