[QUOTE="smaugthebeardie3756, post: 1995217, member: 113095"] I've heard all kinds of things about d3 supplements. They can get overdosed if given too often, so some just say to make sure the UVB is sufficient and skip the d3 altogether. I've read that it's not very easily used and absorbed in supplement form so there's really not much benefit in giving it. I personally go more middle of the road. My guy is a little over a year old so he only gets bugs three times a week. He gets calcium without d3 twice and with d3 once. Three of his salads are also dusted with calcium without d3. He gets soaked pellets once a week that also have calcium and d3, so I count that as well for a total of five feedings without d3 and two with d3. The UVB is what they use to synthesize their own d3. Sunlight is the most efficient way for them to get and use that, but the tube lights are a decent facsimile and give enough for them to make a sufficient amount of d3. In regards to getting him to eat his salads, bee pollen is something that helped me. When I started cutting back his bugs he started eating more greens too. Also just being consistent and offering everyday and always at least a couple hours before bugs. [/QUOTE]
