A Pinch of Vitamins?

[Haligren]

I don't know if this is proper or not but when I put a bowl of calcium in with Tiamat I'll usually sprinkle a pinch of vitamin dust into it as well. Is this okay? Her water - both what I spritz in her moist hide and what I fill her water bowl with - have drops of electrolyte/D3 liquid in it as well.

By far she still is getting more calcium than D3 I think, but I've noticed that the bulges behind her fore legs are getting bigger. I remember Gregg saying that this may be unhealthy because the calcium isn't being metabolized right away. I know many people disagree, but I'm going with my gut feeling here and agreeing with him that it could be a sign of too much calcium and not enough D3. Should I just stop with supplementing her water and calcium with vitamins and just start giving her a large dose of it once a month?

I don't know if the bulges mean too much calcium and not enough D3, but I agree with the general consensus that they are calcium storage.
When my gecko's bulges got big I cut back on the calcium and vitamin intake to cricket dusting about once a week/whenever the bulges weren't noticeable. He still had free choice calcium in his tank though, and I have seem him lick at it. He also still has the bulges behind his legs but they're small.
I'd say go with your instincts and cut back a little, then start up on the calcium again once the bulges go down a bit.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Thank you. I'll do that then.
