Cage Info:
Current Problem - I was worried that I might be giving too much D3 since my alternating weeks of calcium WITH D3 and Reptivite that had D3, should I ditch the calcium with D3 and just do the Reptivite or change to a different brand? Also I have seen comments about the 12% UVB, do I need to change to that or am I good with just the 5%
