Supplementation Schedule (3 Supplements)

[Kat77]

Ok, I just got my baby Ambilobe yesterday and along with him, I got three different supplements Liddy at Kammerflage Creations suggested and sent to me. They are: Herptivite Multi-vitiman with Beta Carotene, REP-CAL w/D3 (phospherous free calcuim carbonate) and Miner-ALL 0 with NO D3. I was wondering what you think my supplementation schedule should be for a 3-3.5 month old Ambilobe Panther chameleon (a male).

I just want to be sure that I get it exactly right for his age.

Great question , I look forward to hearing everyones response. I have been curios about the same thing.

 

[Kat77]

No one seems to want to answer though!

Here is what I do for youngsters:
6X weekly Repcal without D3
1X weekly Herptivite
2X monthly Repcal with D3 in place of the Repcal without D3

For adults it is pretty much the same but I only do once monthly Herptivite.

Juli, I've got Herptivite with beta carotene, is that what you use once a week?

I'm still pretty confused..

I was just having trouble figuring out what was what. Now, if I get my little guy outside often, Jake, do you still recommend the D3 twice a week? It looks like Juli only uses hers twice a month and I've heard others say that D3 isn't needed so often, I'm just wondering what you think.

I'm sorry for bugging everyone with this, but I am the most paranoied chameleon mommy ever right now! I want to do everything exactly right.

Yep-that is what I use. In the summer here it is way too hot to put any babies out in the sun so that is why I use the "with D" twice monthly.

 

[Kat77]

Ok, I think that I've got it, Juli! I appreciate everyone's help! Thanks!

Whats the repcal without D3? I have the pink can and I think it has D3...Kat do you know?

Whats the repcal without D3? I have the pink can and I think it has D3...Kat do you know?

the pink one is with D3,
MinerAll 0 is basically calcium/ mineral without D3.
if you always put your chameleon outside to enjoy the sun (assuming that you live in the area where the sun is available all year around), you can eliminate the need to supplement with D3.

If the majority if his time will be kept indoor, a D3 supplement is a must.
But keep the dosage minimum based on his needs.

Whats the repcal without D3? I have the pink can and I think it has D3...Kat do you know?

Sorry, Brian, I don't know! I have two Repcals, the pink one with D3 and the blue, which is also Herptivite. I haven't seen the Repcal without D3, I just mostly assumed that it was the herptivite. I've been getting my supp. schedule down but I am still confused about what is what sometimes!!

 

[Ryan Jarosek]

Here is what I have been giving my little guy

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

Rep-Cal Calcium (calcium with and w/out vitamin D3 - depending on indoor or outdoor use) - Tuesdays and Fridays

Miner-All (calcium with essential trace minerals) - Wednesdays and Saturdays

No sup on sunday

Does that sound about right?

 

[Kat77]

I'm doing something very similar, so I hope thats right!
