suplementaion Q?

[skajari1]

could i get some udjustments on my suplementaion routine if needed? thanks!

this is what i feed my 5-6 month old Jacksons Chameleon.

Crickets, horn worms ( un punchured, and not dusted ) , wax worms ( not dusted).

The crickets I dust every day but sunday. I have to edmit i dist every single one, i used to dust them heavaly buy, now i go lighter.

5 days I dust the crickets with Rap_Cal ( with vit D3) .

the 6th day i dust all crickets with Reptavive.

sunday- no dusting.

As for the worms, i give them to Leelo as treats. 2 - 3 a day, horn worms i give for about three days one week, one the next week i dont. That week i dont give him horn worms i give him wax worms.

every now and then i run out of crickets, so i give him wax worms only. but thats for a day or two max.

Am I over suplementing?

Leelo seams fine, he hunts, and eats about 3-4 very large crickets a day. i take him out side when its not too warm ( wich isnt very much) , he shoots at any thing that moves when he out side. I watch leelo every second when out side, cuzz i put him in an uncaged ficus big bonsai tree.

Only dust everyother time that your feed him and only use the D3 twice a month. Jann

Jann's sugestion is what I would use for an adult.

You are over suplimenting with D3. 5 Days is too much. For a baby or juvi I sup with d3 twice a week if they are not outside very often. Only dust a few feeders and make sure they are only lightly dusted. No Ghost crickets.

Herptivite (multivitamin with beta-carotene) - Mondays and Thursdays

Rep-Cal Calcium (w/vitamin D3) - Tuesdays and Fridays

Miner-All (calcium NO/D3 with essential trace minerals) - Wednesdays and Saturdays

No food or Sup on Sunday

suplamentaion Q?

I forgot to add, leelo shed his tail only one day, then a couple of days his chin, he seams to be shedding diffrent body parts. i beleave this is normal.

I have not noticed any swelling of his jaw, like what others describe when over suplamenting.

Thanks again!

Here is the Miner-All you will need. It has the red lid not the yellow one.

Miner-All-0
Calcium and mineral supplements with NO Vitamin D3. For use on chameleons housed outdoors with regular exposure to natural sunlight.

Please tell Leelo he is welcome. No problem we are all here to help.

Have you posted any pics of him? I would love to see the little guy.
