No dietary d3...a poll?

Just wondering how many people out there have cut dietary d3 out of their supplementation regime...
 
well my collection is out door so no d3 , only during winter I give them d3 as they are covered in green house plastic and I do not provide artificial lighting .
my readings inside the cages are about 1.0 with the limited natural sun we do get during the winter. so I give repashy plus lod every feeding . I have never seen mbd in my collection yet using this method (knock on wood ).
 
Mine get some outdoor time weekly in the spring/summer but I have not entirely cut out D3 just reduced it. If you are fully outdoors as above you totally should.

that's the goal , the only thing is the green house goes up for about 4 month out of the year , to keep them warm and keep them out of the rain . during these 4 months my uv levels are 1.0 or lower. that's why I use the rapashy plus lod . I know people use this indoor as a daily supplement while using uvb lights , I have no uvb lights during this time so im thinking it would'nt hurt to use lod during this time. do you think I can totally cut them of the lod ????I did cut them off for about a month , but I would loss sleep not knowing if d3 was needed :(

You don't technically have direct sunlight under your greenhouse so I wouldn't count that as fully outdoors. If they aren't in direct or dappled sunlight for 20-30 minutes a days then I would still give a little. Your situation is unique and the exact requirements just aren't known.
I was just talking about your 3/4 year outdoors.
