Hey, everyone...
I know this has probably been a topic discussed too many times, but I can't seem to find anything helpful (at least along the lines of what I'm looking for) and I'm hoping to get suggestions from people with much more experience than I have.
Anyway, I've got my four-year-old rescued Izzy. Other than a respiratory infection a few months back, she's pretty healthy. The vet even said she was a little chubby, but still healthy.
She mostly eats mustard/collard greens and squash and occasionally zucchini. Crickets a few times a week, maybe 5 or 6 a day.
My question is how often and what kind of supplements should I be giving her? I thought maybe the greens were sufficient enough, but I don't want to chance it on just that. We're having to recover our chameleon from MBD because I honestly didn't research enough on their diet and how much they should be having and I don't want Izzy to go through the same.
I have phosphorus-free calcium (one with D3 and one without) and herptivite multivitamins with beta carotene- all Rep-Cal brands.
Should the calcium with no D3 be daily? Should I be giving her the D3 one? I currently have the compact coiled UVB light. Should I be mixing the multivitamins with her food, as well?
How many times a week? I think I should have some kind of feeding/supplement schedule, but I'm not sure how to go about it.
If anyone can help, and tell me what has worked for you, what I should change, etc. Any help will be appreciated and sorry for the long message.
Thanks.
