Re: Age old calcium question
D3 was before good UVB sources... Now, with high output uvb, no D3 should be given.
With the D3, they can easily overdose on calcium.
Re: Age old calcium question
Yea, I say d3 should be limited significantly to once a month. Thats what I would do. I'm using mvb's so its very rare when I give d3 for my bearded dragon. But my cousin Jake has his beardie on the same zillas desert lights, so I'm guessing they give off enough uvb to process calcium because he gives his beardie d3 once a month like I said.
I wish there would be like a universal care sheet that everyone could agree on and go by since one always ends up getting confused about these things again and again.
Re: Age old calcium question
Growing babies need calcium much more during bone development.
I give my growing and gravid beardies Herptivite weekly, it contains alot more than just calcium.
