How often to dust food?

[CleaTheChameleon]

Hello everyone how often do i need to dust my baby veiled insects?:confused

 

[jannb]

Use plain calcium at just about every feeding. Calcium with D3 twice a month and a multivitamin such as Rep-Cal Herptivite once a month. Just lightly dust.....don't make your feeders look like ghost.

Wait if u use d3 once a month what do u use every other feeding do i need to get vitamin a?

 

[jannb]

Use plain calcium at just about every feeding. Calcium with D3 twice a month the mulit will have a bit of A in it and that's all the A you will need.

I use the JurassiCal from your first link (fyi please use the edit button when available, double-posting is not nice). As far as vitamin A goes, I recommend using Herptivite for most dustings but using Reptivite once a month. Reptivite has preformed vitamin A while Herptivite has Beta Carotene. I try to use vitamins as sparingly as possible, but my chameleon lives outside. I usually give calcium once a week and Herptivite once a week (Reptivite instead at the end of the month). As my chameleon lives outside I don't supplement any D3, but you should.

Clea, you'll get best results with these products:

--twice a month for babies, once a month for adults (based on natural sun exposure)

http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/reptile-supplies/vitamins-medicines-and-cage-cleaners/-/sticky-tongue-minerall-outdoor-formula/
--every second feeding for babies, once a week to every two weeks for adult (based on what feeders and gutloads you are using)

http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/reptile-supplies/vitamins-medicines-and-cage-cleaners/-/sticky-tongue-vit-all/
----twice to three times a month for babies, once to twice a month for adults (again, based on what bugs you use and gutloads)

There is much advice on dusting, I'd suggest doing some research and figure out the best regimen to use for your cham.
