New Juvenile veiled

[Karancon]

Hi - I spoke to many of you last week about my ailing veiled - we took her to the vet, was told to syringe feed her carnivore care and calci-liquid. She was given a injection of fluids, but she still didn't make it. We are trying again, and have ordered a juvenile female from FLChams, Vanessa had been purchased at PetCo. FLCHams said they keep basking spot at 90 and have only fed her crickets. When can I introduce worms. I received a fresh order from Josh's frogs the day after Vanessa died. Horned worms, Dubais and phoenix worms. I am assuming these will all be too big for her. We're planning on dusting with D3 twice a month, multivitamin twice a month and everyday with calcium. Swapped out mos of the plastic leaves for a pothos, she'll have a ficus tree too. Screen cage 18x18x36, mistking, repti sun 5.0 and a 60 watt grow light for basking. 12/12 - Going to add a dripper. No substrate Will post her pic when she arrives Thursday.

Does this sound right to everyone?

If you want my personal recommendations:
Drop the D3 and pure calcium powders
Dust every feeding lightly with sticktonguefarms indoor formula (very low dose d3 for growing chams)
stick with your agreed upon vitamin sched.
FLCHams are generally 6 months old and well started, petco for the most part are only 60-90 days old
Odd are it will only eat crickets till 9-12 months old when it starts becoming an adult. You can introduce other feeders in the feeder cup, but for the most they will only 1 primary feeder.
If you have a mulberry tree near by. silk worm eggs are dirt cheap (500 for less than 10 bucks shipped)
that 60 watt grow light should be a wide flood, not a normal house hold bulb.

Everything else looks good. I would teach her to cup feed (or the cut up water bottle feeder style) as early as possible.
I would also have zero things on the floor of the cage, so all the feeders cant hide.

Their web site states 3-4 months old - the grow bulb is flood shaped - guess I'll toss the horned, dubais, and phoenx worms for now. There is so many different opinions about supplement dusting -

Yea, but i cant honestly recommend a sup that i have not ran myself. I have been running sticky indoor since the 1990's. All blood work came back mint, no bone problems. Todays bulbs put out 50-100x more uvb than back then, and i still have good marks from the vet while using just the indoor formula.
