Calcium in a bowl?

[Fal]

Not sure if I have asked this before, but does anyone put calcium in a bowl for their beardie? Just so he/she can eat it when they want, like many do with Leopard Geckos?

It's just that, whenever I have put a bit of calcium on Draco's veg (as well as live feeder dusting), and it has fallen in a clump/pile, he goes right for it and starts eating it. Now, all the care sheets I have read, when talking about calcium and vitamins, say that Beardies can OD on vits, but not calcium!?!? SO... does that not meen it'd be ok to put a small bowl of it in the viv, and let Draco eat it when he feels the need? Since I have witnessed him doing so anyway?

Just a thought.

Cheers,
Jon

Hi Jon, actually a beardie can over dose on calcium! I would stick to putting feeders in a bag put the calcium in there and shake it up! Then put the feeders in the viv! Their you go shake n bake!! Good luck.. :wink:
