[QUOTE="CooperDragon, post: 1964419, member: 76248"] Supplementation can be a bit controversial. I think that's because there isn't a ton of data available on it. The way I see things, if they have a high quality UVB like a T5 at a proper distance (producing 3-6UVI) then they should be able to produce D3 on their own and I use plain calcium. Otherwise I use calcium with D3 or an all in one like Repashy Calcium plus. I think of the supplements as a way to make up for deficiencies in the captive bugs in terms of vitamins and minerals that they would likely have in the wild. I give a light, even coat of supplement on each bug feeding. If you have a younger dragon who eats more bugs than an adult then you could probably reduce this to once a day or maybe every other day. Adults (and younger dragons) who eat lots of veges will get much of their vitamins and other nutrients from that. Salads don't need supplementation because they are nutrient rich on their own. It boils down to making up for a lack of nutrients in captive bugs, that's all. [/QUOTE]
