Calcium powder

[Mr. gecko]

Hi i was wondering if it is necessary to keep a dish of calcium powder in my leos tank?

Yes; keep a small shallow dish of calcium powder in your leo's enclosure at all times. He/ she will lap it up when needed.

Dust your feeders as recommended as well.

i dont keep pure calcium in her cage,but i coat with calcium every other feeding.Some of my leos would overturn the calcium dish

No there are 3 supplements to use.there is calcium powder every other day, the multivitamin like your reptolife once a week. and calcium with D3 which I use once a month

Now, I've been dusting mealworms for awhile, the stuff doesn't really "stick" like it did to the crickets, but I make sure to pour it into the bowl with the mealworms so my leo might snap some of it up with the mealworms. Would feeding some of the powder to the mealworms ahead of time benefit the leo?
