***Not using this now as I bought different items***
I purchased a bottle of Zoo Med's Reptivite multi-vitamins with D3.
Now it is put away. The next post is what I have bought and need help with.
=) Thank you!!

I just need help on how much to give and how often. I appreciate any and all the help. =)
First item- ReptoCal by Tetrafauna. Includes Calcium and D3. (use once or twice a week as stated on bottle)
Second item- Rep-Cal Herptivite with Beta Carotene & Multivitamins. (It says to mix with Rep Cal calcium-which isn't the brand I bought, and then dust the live food in a bag. It doesn't say how often and I don't want to conflict the dosage with the above calcium item I do have).
My BD is 13" long(tip of nose to end of tail), not sure of weight, but he is over 40grams(by a vet on Dec. 2nd).

I wish the instructions with ratios were easier to understand. I go to Beautiful Dragons site and the times a week for each product I have read, but how much for each day of both products. I just wish it was easy to understand.
Again, thank you for your help. =)

After reading similar posts regarding feeding the supplements, Would this be the right schedule?
ReptoCal by Tetra: Calcium with D3 on Monday through Friday once a day on crickets.
Rep-Cal: Multivitamins on Saturday & Sunday once a day on crickets.
If this sounds good, then I am relieved.
Thank you!!! =)

Would this continue through his entire life or will adjusts need to be made later on? He's 4 1/2 months(I am guessing at 13")

Yes, this would be correct. When he is about 1 1/2 yrs old, then you would cut the calcium back to 3 days a wk and the vitamins to 1 to 2 times a wk.
