Calcium dish

[nathan52789]

Hey guys,
I'm working on getting everything set up to get a pair of leopards in a few weeks. I'm just a little confused on the calcium dish. Do you use a food dish, calcium dish, and water or can you just put the meal worms into the calcium dish.

Thanks,
Nathan

dont put a ton of calcium in with mealworms or you'll kill them.

for the calcium dish, use a bottle top, life from milk or gatorade and fill it with pure calcium (no D3!) and set it in the tank. i actually use a small plastic cup that you can get from fast food restaurants...i think Culver's has the best b/c they're shallow enough.

yes you need a water dish...i use a small ceramic dish for my gecko's water dish.

food dish...i find mealworms crawl out of the ceramic dishes, so i use small clear glass dishes b/c they're a little taller...i found some at old time pottery for like 50 cents! i like using glass b/c the geckos can see the worms moving better.

hope this helps!
