vitamin powders, which do you use?

[Mirthy]

I am sure there is a thread on this but I can't find it. Which vitamin powders do you prefer?
Is there anything to be cautious of? So many commercial products seem to be lacking in one way or another so I thought I'd take my question to the board.

Repcal herptivite is the best available from what I am aware... the rest usually contain some form of vitamin A which can be dangerous so you need to use a vitamin powder that contains beta carotene instead

rep-cal herptivite twice a week in place of his calcium.

Thanks MissT and MrWhite for such speedy responses
I appreciate it. I really want everything just right for my little guy. (still calling him a guy but that just about guarantees a little girl doesn't it? hehe)

 

[MissT]

Haha, I spent months calling Kazi a little girl... I dont even know why! When he hit about 5 months I suddenly thought 'I really should check that she is a she' and of course, she was a he!!!!

i also use herpvite.

Kazi works nicely either way, though. Norris could have a Mr or Mrs tagged on the front. My husband had me rolling last night by offering to rename him (her) Rex, first name Nervous. In honor of the whole week long 'Food is Scary' incident. Yesterday, he ate 16 crickets though, new record so food is no longer scary and is safely crunchy again. I can see us at the vet introducing little Nervous Rex and explaining the he (she) is named after us.

Thanks Scubasteve, sounds like that everybody's favorite.

 

[MissT]

This thread is all about Vitamins and info about them for a newbie so please don't feel like that sort of information won't be welcome.
And if you don't feel comfortable posting it then please PM me as well

I had to do a little marathon of pet stores before I found one with the rep cal in stock. They all sold it and all were sold out. That gave me a chance to look at a lot of babies...Some how I still manage to only own one beardie. It was tough, I can't lie. Very tough.
