I've heard people say Herptivite by Rep Cal is a recommended Vitamin dust in the US, but can't seem to get it in the UK? Anyone find it over here, or have an alternative?
You can buy calcium powder at World of Water Blackpool. I get everything I need for my lizards there. I do not work for them so am not advertising for them. They just seem to have or can get anything that is needed for looking after and caring for reptiles. And mine have had the calcium powder from there since I got them aged 2months and they are about 9months old now.
Cheers nanasharon, we have the calcium powder, was looking for the multi vitamin powder, but I shall check there anyway
ps: Check out fylde water gardens (I think it is called) just off Queensway at the back of the Airport, the turning is opposite Blackpool Scorpions Rugby Club and it is sign posted from there. Friendly little place with a nice selection of well looked after lizards. Also, in Cleveleys, opposite Liddle I think it is, is an amazing reptile shop with LOADS of stuff, including a LARGE Nile Monitor in a gorgeous vivarium!
...and perhaps I just have had a single bad experience, but I STILL haven't received the vitamins after a couple of assurances that it is on it's way, then it was delayed as out of stock, then on it's way again and all in all, since the date I first posted about this, I have been waiting and still nothing, and so I have asked them to cancel the order and refund me asap - although I am skeptical as to whether they will or not!?
So.. back to my first question, anyone know of the best multi vits (not calcium, we already have this) to use for your young beardie int he UK? I'm dubious about some because it has to have the right ratio of ingredience and a lot don't, so want the right one, but can't unfortunately seem to get the one our cousins in the US use.
Thankyou for keeping me up to date with the vitamin situation. I have found a uk reptile website that I use now. I find it very useful. If your interested it is R.F.UK. It is very much like this one but everyone on it is from the UK. Hope you like it if you decide to check it out.
Sorry I've been darn sarth for the week (sorry southerners, but my gf is from darn sarth so it allows me to take the mic, especially when they do me whilst down there lol).
I got it off eBay, last tub so unless they get more in, which they don't seem to be so far, I haven't a clue where I will get it next time as, like said above, they don't seem to ship to the UK
I did a bit of searching and found somewhere that ships to the Uk, or rather internationally.
The combo pack of the vitamin stuff and calcium powder including shipping was about £24, but when i think about it 50g of the other stuff i had was ~£5 and this is essentially 4X the amount (if we pretend the vitamins is calcium powder too) so it doesn't work out that much more expensive for me.
Anyway fo anyone interested here is the link http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog...rep-cal-calcium-and-herptivite-combo-special/
That's great and like you say, when you consider it all and the amounts plus the fact that we know this stuff is the best (according to most on here, which I believe), then that's great!
