vit and cal powder

[JeremyReed]

I have some vitamin powder and calcium powder mixed 1:1....is it ok to dust dubias daily with that or should I use reg calcium daily and vit powder once a week?

Depends on the vitamin powder. Some contain too much of certain vitamins that can
build up to toxicity levels if given in too large of amounts.

The "standard" recommendation is for calcium 5x a week and vitamin 2x a week.

I too do a mixed calcium/vitamin dust every day instead of switching back and forth,
but I keep my ratios at about 4 to 1 (4 calcium to 1 vitamin). I honestly don't know
if that's better or worse for them, but it works out best for me and they ARE healthy
with those levels of supplementation. They get regular check-ups with a reptile specialist
vet in the area to ensure that.

I use reptisun 10.0 bulb so I use zoo med repti calcium with D3 and Rep-Cal herptivite with beta carotene multivitamins

4:1 ration sounds good for multi vitamins.

I only dust with calci and vitamin D3 once a day 5 days a week. They will get more calci and vitamins from veggies too.
