Supplement HELP!

[Jupitertheking]

Hi so I have a bearded dragon and supplement is so annoying and frustrating and confusing so as some of u know I have a all in one supplement which I don’t really trust so I’m buying bunch of supplements from ur website dubiaroaches.com and I would like to know what I need to buy I know I need calcium powered with d3 and without D3 and what about vitamins bec there are so much! There are some with d3 some with other stuff

 

[Badwolfe]

As a general rule I normally use powdered calcium (no D3) 4-5 times a week and a calcium / d3 / multivitamin 2-3 times a week.

Opinions vary on D3 supplementation but it's worth noting that overdosing D3 can cause as many problems as not enough hence why I only do it a couple of times a week. If you are providing the correct UV lighting your dragon should be synthesising pretty much what it needs and the D3 supplement is just there as a buffer.

All in one supplements are fine and make the job of ensuring your dragon is getting eveything it needs much simpler.

Btw when u say 4-5 times a week do u mean by days or no and where could I buy these from because I was trying to buy from their website dubiaroach.com but I couldn’t there was a bug or something

And which one should I get and what’s the difference between complex calcium powder and carbonate

 

[Badwolfe]

I believe complex calcium also contains other trace elements whereas calcium carbonate obviously contains oxidized carbon (CO3)

Best thing to do is go for a brand that states it is intended for dusting livefood

 

[Badwolfe]

I use Vetark Calci-Dust for general purpose dusting and Vetark Nutrobal for d3 / vitamin supplementation but not sure if they are available in the country you live

I am using a all in one supplement right now is it good should I keep using it it should I change it! I was told to dust this on their live insects everyday!

An all in one multivitimin / D3 / calcium powder supplement only needs to be administered twice a week - use a calcium only duster for the rest of the days

So should I use this for two days a week and then a calcuim powder with no d3 for the rest?
