I’m very close to feeling confident about my knowledge and actually getting a baby beardie, so this should be one of my last rounds of questions. however, there is one subject I’m still stuck on: Calcium. I’ve read that I should be providing both with d3 and w/o. However, I don’t know how frequently I should be dusting for either of them or the multivitamin. Additionally,
1) what is the maximum amount of UVB exposure a beardie can be getting in a day (how long the lights can be on) Ik it’s ideally 12 hrs but that won’t work with my schedule.
2) If I have my lights on for longer than usual, do I need calcium with d3 since he’s gonna be getting extra from the UVB?
3) I plan on feeding my baby beardie dubias anyone know how long they stay the same size?
4)Addidtonly I don't plan on having a dubia colony, so I'll buy around every two weeks. Will they be able to last on just when I gut load them for the two weeks I need them? Or do I have to really feed them food and water?
5) I live in Long Island New York, does any1 #know if I need to add conditioner to my water or can I just give it to my beardie tap? If no one knows how can I find out?
6) for my substrate I’m going to use a type of shelf liner that looks good and is easy to clean, however, I don’t know if it is toxic to beardies or not. Also, are there any other materials that are toxic to beardies?
Here is the shelf liner: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0027P94ZI/ref=ox_sc_act_image_16?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=
