Can you mix brands of supplements.

[Erin Z]

Hello. Am a new owner (about a week ago I got her) and I'm getting a grasp on all this information. But I have a question, is it okay to mix brands of supplements. Like say I give her zoo med calcium without d3 everyday and twice a month give her exo terra calcium with d3 and a fulkers multivitamin. Or should I just stick to the same brand ?

Yes you can mix brands, and yes your suggested schedule is fine

Okay thank you and the flukers multivitamin says daily, should I use this daily or every two weeks?

Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong so don't run to the bank with what I say lol..but with a multivitamin you generally do 2x a month like the d3 but not with it.
I give supplements every Friday..so first Friday of the month I'll give him his d3..then next Friday is multivitamin and I alternate like that.

I do this too....not sure if giving together is a detriment but it just seems to be better to spread them out this way. I also alternate herptivite and reptivite on the vitamin weekends....so he gets some preformed vitamin A in there once a month.

Side note: I used to be an Erin Z too! until I got married...seeing that name and initial grabbed my attention, not so common Always last in the alphabet!

Every two weeks is fine for a multivit.

I have no idea why it would say daily, that is just unnecessary (in chams might even lead to overdose of vit a).
