UVB needed?

[RamboRocky]

im a new owner of 2 beardies i been giving them uvb but my bulb just blew... should i run out the door and get a new one... is it really needed... i give them calcium powder with the vitamin d3 everytime i feed them live feeders.

You should get one as soon as you can, yes. Though they can go a week or two without, just make sure you have a nice bright White light for them in the meantime.

Ps, if you are using that calcium daily, the sooner the better, otherwise they won't be able to process it for use in their bodies

well i was told somewhere that the uvb sends out UV rays like the sun and that gives them calcium and the vitamin d3 always the calcium to be processed... is this wrong? because im giving them enough calcium and enough d3... so does the uvb need to be bought?

Yes it needs to be bought in the next week or so .
