Hi all, my name is Samantha and I am buying some things for my bearded dragon, Spike! I would love opinions about what I list below, if you think it's a good idea or otherwise. Thank you for your time; I only want what's best for my guy! Please, help me do right by him <3
Facts About Spike:
- I am unsure if he is a male or female, but I intend to attempt to sex him within the week. Even the vet was unsure.
- He is an adult, though his true age is unknown. I've had him for almost 3 years, but he was an adult (I believe) when I first got him.
Things I Want to Buy:
- Bee Pollen
> It was recommended to me, though I am unsure what it's benefits are. I intend to do my research before buying it, but I am just curious if you have any experience with it?
- Fluker's Repta-Calcium with D3
> He needs new calcium, and this forum recommended a calcium with D3 in it.
- Rep-Cal Herptivite Multivitamin
> Again, this forum recommended that he be on a multivitamin, which I had not idea about.
- Zoo Med Electrolyte Soak
> He is having a hard time pooping, and every time I've given him a soak with something added, he's been able to pass his problem. I am excited to try this, but please give me your opinion!
- ZeeDix Coconut Fiber Mat
> This is for half of his cage; the other half is a loose substrate, but I ensure to never feed him on the substrate. I also track his poops, to make sure everything is going okay. I keep the loose substrate because Spike LOVES to burrow and dig. I completely understand why loose substrate can be an issue, but his vet was okay with my using it, as long as I never feed him near it/on it.
