Liquid calcium?

[CharlieCharmingo]

Does liquid calcium go bad? Say if you had a bottle of it for a little over a year?

It should have a best by date on it... Its probably fine after a year, powdered calcium lasts about 3 years.

The expiration date on Dilly liquid cacium script expires 18 months from dispensing date.

Depends on the liquid calcium and such, I usually keep mine a couple months after the expiration date, but I also keep mine in the fridge.

I keep all her meds and vitamins in a sealed zip lock bag in the fridge, they last drastically longer!

Hm. And did you all get yours from the vet? Because I want to get some more for Tony (not that he's sick or anything), but the vet that I go to said they were on back order because it was glass or something found in some of the orders (idk I'm no vet) so they don't know when they'll be getting more.

Everything I'm using came from the vet, OTC liquid calcium is apparently very dangerous for chams. They sent the script out to a compounding pharmacy, it was ready 2 days later. Maybe they have somewhere that they could send it out for you?

Oh wow I didn't know that. Yea maybe, I'm going to call and ask them. I mean they should be able to get calcium from elsewhere right? I mean their a vet, I don't see why it would be too much trouble. Lol.

Over the counter liquid calcium isn't premixed and unless you premix it perfectly it can cause burning of any reptile or fatality with heart stopping.

Once again Andee your information is valuable, but I wasn't going to buy over the counter I was going to see if the vet could maybe order some from a different supplier or something.

There is nothing wrong with asking in my opinion ^^

I'm not even joking, they make worm flavor too. They didn't have it in stock but somebody somewhere had to figure out what worms taste like to flavor lizard medicine.

Probably mealworm flavored, since tons of people eat those.

In some places people also eat hornworms.

Eh, ive tried a full grown mealworm, that was gross enough, i couldnt imagine eating a full grown live hornworm lmao.

I've heard bug protein is the future because it takes far less resources to produc ounce for ounce versus animal protein or even soy. I'm all for conservation of resources but eating bugs sounds like so much nope to me!

 

[CharlieCharmingo]

I guess just think about it this way, if it is the future all of us more or less know how to breed and take of our own. We're ahead of the market.

And besides, (Do not continue reading if you are squeamish) you likely already eat a lot more than you think . Not to mention the other stuff besides bugs...
