Supplement trouble

[Ggremlin576]

Hey guys,
I have a quick question about supplements. Right now I dust:

Calcium w D3 once every other week
Multivitamin once every other week

I used to use calcium w/o D3 3x weekly but I noticed that he had white rings around his nostrils. Now that i've stopped he still has the rings though.

I really don't want to let him get MBD but I also don't want to over supplement him.

So basically what I'm wondering is if I should start with the Calcium w/o D3 again. Thanks

Yes, continue with the Cal w/o D3 daily (maybe dust lightly).. The white discharge is normal.

Thanks I'll start that up again then

Yea the Cal is needed to balance out the phosphorus in your feeder crickets. So unless you are also feeding feeders that are high in Cal (like Pheonix and butterworms). I'd continue your previous routine.

I use dubia roaches as a staple food. Not sure what the ratio is for them.

Its believed that calcium has nothing to do with the discharge...

B.Dubias are greattt!!

And good read Kinyonga. I actually read that during the last "white buildup" debate thread. Good info.

To the OP, i'd still go back to dusting with Cal w/o D3.

Well I guess that settles it, definitely going back on the clacium w/o d3. Wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I let him get MBD.

Thanks a lot for the quick replys
