Supplement routine help

[marcu5]

Hello,

I have a 4-5 month old panther chameleon that I have had for a few days now and am looking for some help with supplements.

I have calcium without D3 that I have been using with every feeding. My question is should I be dusting every single feeder or just a few? Everything I’ve seen also says use it every feeding is this correct?

I have reptivite reptile vitamins with D3 that I will give twice a month based on research. When I do this again do I dust every feeder with it? And do I use calcium without D3 on these days too?

Finally, I do not currently have calcium with D3 I plan on getting some this weekend. Same question when I use this do I dust every bug? And is it correct that I plan to use this twice a month?

Please let me know if I am missing anything else.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
You should be dusting every single feeder every day with calcium without d3 except for the days that you do the multivitamin with d3, which should be twice a month. If your multivitamin has d3 you don’t need any calcium with d3.

Do make sure to dust the feeders lightly. You don’t want them looking like powdered donuts. I put a small pinch of supplement in the bottom of a tall deli cup and add my feeders. They coat themselves as they move around in it.

Thank you! So when I do my multivitamin I dust all the feeders with that right?

Yes. Your ReptiVite contains D3, so you don’t need any additional D3. Calcium without D3 on all feeders at every feeding and ReptiVite with D3 on all feeders at one feeding every other week or twice a month (potatoe, potahto).
