How much vits,calcium,d3 etc should i give?

[tortoisefreak]

Ive never understood about the quantity of calcium,d3,vits and all that goodies I should give to a leopard gecko. Can someone explain? cuz sometimes i see people putting some white powder in a bottle cap and leave it in the cage. Is that calcium?and do I have to give it vitamin D3? Im confused

FYI: I dont have a leopard gecko yet.Im doing countless research on them before buying any

There is some information on this in the Supplementation section that will clear things up for you

There are several different ways to supplement. I'll tell you what has worked well for my gecko.
I use a supplement powder called Repashy Calcium Plus. It has calcium, D3, and other vitamins your gecko needs all in one package. This powder has worked just fine for me and takes a lot of guess work out of supplementing insects. You should dust at every feeding.
I still like to leave a small dish of plain calcium carbonate in the tank at all times. Sometimes geckos need a little extra calcium, and this allows them to eat it whenever necessary.
Hope this helps you.

There's so much on the site, it's not an easy task to find things at times Pertinant info for recurring subjects is the stickies in each section. For instance, how to tell when a female is ovulating is in the breeding section.

I'm still new to this forum and finding cool stuff to to read all the time :main_robin:
