Finally getting some growth

[Rev86]

Posted on here a few months ago about my male veiled Not growing. After your guys input and lots of research finally got my little guy to start putting some size on. Turns out dusting my crickets with calcium WITH vitamin D3 every single time was a NO NO! Got calcium without D3 and after 1 week of that it was a game changer, he also started eating the big Juicy Horned Worms which also made a huge difference. He's still very small for being 9 months old, but o well. Here's my little midget now.

Adorable little guy! Love your tattoos too.

I highly doubt the D3 was preventing it's growth....
Still good thing you changed to just calcium amd he looks quite all right too.

Yeah I don't really understand it, I read somewhere too much D3 is bad and they only should have the D3 Calcium 1 or 2 times a month... either way once I switched that up I saw a difference. He's getting more colors and patterns recently which is pretty sweet too see, and thanks.

Hornworms are great for putting on some weight and size

To much D3 can potentially be harm full so it's better to provide it only twice a month. If your guy gets frequent outside time you can skip it completely.

Putting on weight is more like a eating issue,when is last time he had his fecal test??

In my opinion over supplementation of D3 would should up more in bone issues than less growth. It would look more like lack of calcium and the typical MBD/rubber bones/fractures everywhere problem. I would worry more about parasites or something if he's not growing at all.
