Need help with supplements.

[OhBoy258]

I have a 3 months old veiled female. I usually feed her crickets. I only have nutri mix rep calci plus supplements at home. My question is, how often should I dust the crickets with this brand of supplement? Or is she going to need something different? (Maybe two different supplements, one with D3 and one with calcium) I'm going to be really greatfull for any advice.

You should be using a phosphorus free calcium powder without d3 every feeding. A phosphorus free calcium with d3 twice a month and a multivitamin twice a month. Use the d3 and multivitamin on alternate weeks. You don't need to use the regular calcium at the same time as the d3 or multivitamin.

Here's a link to the care sheets for veileds. https://www.chameleonforums.com/care/caresheets/veiled/

Not sure if you are aware but female chameleons can lay eggs without being mated. The can start to produce eggs as early as 4-6 months. so you will need to setup a laying bin for her if you don't already have one.

Thanks, I will buy the neccesary supplements as fast as I can. But do you know anything about the brand that I mentioned? Is it ok or should I just wait untill I get the proper one?

The problem is that my first cham died about a week ago, and my sister wanted to surprise me with a new one. But since I got my first one when she was already like 2, I have no experience taking care of juveniles. Plus my old cham never laid any eggs, so that is also going to be a new experience for me. I'm honestly kinda mad at my sister, since because the new cham was a surpise, I had no way to prepare stuff for her. Things like a new UVB bulb, a proper basking light, more plants, etc. will all arrive after the weekend. I had to make her a lamp out of a clay pot with a normal lightbulb, and the only supplements that I could find where the ones I mentioned.

All the descriptions of that supplement are in a language I don't read. It looks like a calcium vitamin and mineral supplement. If that is correct then you can use it every two weeks as mentioned above. I can't tell if it has D3.

Yeah, it has multiple vitamins including D3, calcium and minerals
