Supplement?

[dakski]

I have been very confused after leopard gecko supplements, I use Rep Cal calcium with d3 and Rep Cal multivitamins. Is that all you need? Do you need minerals?

Calcium with D3 is most important, especially as they are growing. Vitamins and minerals are good as well.

My adult LG's get Calcium w/D3 2X a week and a multivitamin with minerals 1X a week, but not more.

LG's can handle calcium well (you can leave calcium in a small bowl in the tank and they will eat it when they need it and it won't harm them at all) but can only process excess vitamins to an extent - especially beta carotene. Try to get good quality vitamins as the source for the beta carotene is usually better and therefore better for LG's.

Make sure you are gut-loading your food with good stuff and that's over half the battle.

In summary.

1. Gut load LG food with good quality food.

2. Calcium 2X a week for adults and 3X for young LG's. You can also leave calcium in a bowl in the tank in addition to sprinkling food and they will eat when they need it.

3. Good vitamin 1X a week.
