Can a beardie in a tank get too much calcium? I have a Sunblaster T5 in the tank. Wondering if d3 or without d3 is best and if he needs it on every meal (crickets and greens)

Yes, they can get too much calcium. I'd follow the instructions on your particular brand of calcium but in general a light dusting on every bug meal is enough. What kind of UVB bulb do you have in your sunblaster fixture? Or is it a sunblaster daylight bulb? With T5 lighting at appropriate distance, there should be enough UVB for natural d3 synthesis so no d3 supplement is necessary.

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!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
