I have the Zilla vitamin supplement and was wondering if I should use it on my dragons salads. His bugs are supplemented with calcium but nothing on the salad. I have attached pictures but I know they are a little blurry so I can tell u guys what it says if you need.

Is he eating his salads good? If he is I wouldnt worry about the vitamins -- how old is the dragon? If hes still a baby I would spray the insects - hes more inclined to eat the protein than the salads -

no he isnt but you suggested i get some bsfl to entice him that should come in today. hes roughly 7 or 8 weeks and 5 inches long. he eats his crickets well but hes not a fan of the dubias.

ok should i alternate days that i use the spray vs the calcium powder or different feedings? he gets fed 4 times a day. i think he dislikes his dubias because they dont move as much as the crickets but im hoping he will grow to like them.

He needs calcium D3 5 x per week ONCE per feeding -- vitamins 2 x per week ONCE per feeding -

Dust the insects ONE time per feeding - if your feeding 4 times a day only ONCE - - as well - w./ vitamins one time per feeding
im sorry im confused you said one time per feeding but then you said only once if i feed 4 times a day? are you saying to dust every feeding but only once as in dont dust them then redust them or are you saying out of those 4 feeding i should only dust for 1 of them?

Smell and taste the vitamins, most of the liquid vitamins smell and taste horrible 😫 I've had trouble getting any of my dragons to eat it. You may have better luck with powdered multivitamins. Liquid calcium has been hit or miss on taste. Some is nearly tasteless, that my dragons will take, some of it taste as bad as the vitamins, my dragons refuse that.

Only dust the insects one time per day- do not over dust them - if you dust them more than once per day your over dusting them

Use the calcium powder 1 time per day. Use the multivitamins 1 time per day a couple times per week.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
