He's not being great about eating salads lately, he'll eat a couple of bites a day but never finishes it. I do spray the salad with water. I give him zoo med calcium without D3 2-3 times a week lightly dusted on his roaches. He gets repcal multivitamin once a week.
Ok so since hes a year old I would cut back on the calcium D3 to once a week and dust his insects w/ regular calcium w/ NO phosphorus to 2 times a week his vitamins should be ok since he is eating some of the salads - and your using a T 5 UVB correct?

I don't ever use calcium with D3 he just gets plain calcium. Yeah the T5 is in a reflector inside the cage 11 inches from basking spot.

I got him when he was 5 months and I didn't since the vet told me not
I am going to ask AHBD about this and see what she thinks whether adding it in now would help - we always recommend D3 5 x per week dusted once on the insects then after a year old to 1-2 times per week depending on the UVB being used --

Ok thanks, I take him to a board certified reptile vet and she told me any amount of D3 can cause toxicity, but I'd be curious to know if it's necessary even with good UVB.

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.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
