I know reptiles need calcium with D3, but out of curiosity what is the difference between the calcium with D3 and the calcium with D4? D4 helps absorb calcium and eliminate phosphorous.

I know D3 is just the same vitamin you get from the sunlight, but if we use basking lamps to mimic the sun our dragons are already getting D3. Can't they get too much? From what I've been reading about D4 (I hadn't heard of it either) it sounds better for the dragons then potentially oding on D3.
Has anyone used D4?

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
