I joined a Bearded Dragon group on Facebook to communicate with fellow Beardie lovers - and to get advise when needed. Well one day I was browsing fellow posts and noticed someone mentioned they gave their juvenile Bearded Dragon Calcium (with D3) dusted food 5x per week, then had their food plain for the other two. They were told not to give Calcium with D3 that frequently due to "overdosing" it and recommended giving Calcium with D3 2-3 days a week, plain Calcium 2-3 days per week and then vitamins the remaining days.
Now I have two juvenile Bearded Dragons (Sparx is roughly 5 months and Spyro is 4 months and 4 days old) and I've been giving them Calcium with D3 5x per week (3 feedings per day) and then Vitamins the other two days - and occasionally will skip a day or two and give them their feeders plain.
I've never noticed any adverse health concerns from giving Calcium with D3 that frequently - and I thought for young Beardies they needed it that often?
So my question is, for my two Bearded Dragons (again, they're about 4-5 months of age), what supplements should they be getting and how much, etc?
Thank you!
