Liquid Vitamins and calcium?

[HitokiriBattousai]

looking for suggestions for liquid vitamins and calcium as my Beardie Nova has recently decided he doesn't like dusted superworms anymore but likes hornworms instead and i think what he may like is the color among other things

so i would be grateful for any recommendations for liquid vitamins and calcium



as for some information Nova is just about 18 inches and weighs 345 grams and was born right around Jan. 1st this year setup is a 36x24x24 Viv with a Reptisun 10.0 T5 with him able to get as close as 10 inches (basking spot) to 36 inches away (floor) from it allowing for variable USB exposure with a basking spot temp topping out right around the low 100's substrate is slate tile



also another thing is it normal for them to not want to eat for a few days after a big meal? (like 2 6g hornworms so 12g of food total) his weight is fairly stable and when it does drop any he will want to eat but otherwise he will turn his nose up at food (and refuses to touch his green however what green he won't eat the hornworms will)

The liquid calcium is more concentrated and requires some specific dosage (I'm not sure of the dosage however). Have you tried offering a different brand of calcium dust? It's not uncommon for them to have a big meal and then not eat for a while when they're older so I wouldn't worry about that too much as long as weight is steady and his activity levels are normal.

honestly i'd rather just pick up liquid so i can give it to him and know he is getting the proper amounts weekly as it wouldn't be to hard to get him to take a few drops in his mouth and then not have to fight with him over dusted food (he can be quite stubborn going as far as to spit out dusted things in the past and turn his nose up at them)


and i don't have to worry much about activity level as he is lazy as hell by nature lol when ever i take him out all he wants to do is climb over and sit on my shoulder so he isn't much of an explorer i've gone as far as to put him on the ground in my room and he will walk around a little lick at the floor (or just anything interesting he comes across in his short travels) and then he wants right back on my shoulder


the most activity he gets would be his baths in which he will swim around a lot but yea otherwise he is a content just being lazy and hanging out

If it were me, I'd pick up the liquid calcium from Tracie's site and ask her about dosages http://www.bug-de-lite.com/Products Page.html
