Proper supplements

[Hale]

I am currently using Dragon Dust by T-REX, and my last gecko a few years back I used strictly a calcium supplement and gutloaded the crickets.

Now is the Dragon Dust going to provide the geckos with everything they need? It does list Calcium, Vitamin A, Vitamin D-3... or is it better to have different supplements simplified for one specific purpose?

I will not use t-rex products anymore had a very bad experience and lost a baby bearded dragon from it i now use rep-cal products only but there are other good ones out there i would stay away from the t-rex stuff though IMO

I would be interested in the names of vitamins and other supplements people use and are happy with besides rep-cal and vionate. When I sell complete leo setups to people I also provide both kinds of calcium and vitamins. I buy stuff on ebay and am always interested in effective supplements if they're at a good price.

I use:

JurassiPet - Jurassi*Cal
JurassiPet - Jurassi*Vite
Four Paws - Nature's Reptile Vita Spray

For my geckos I just mix some of the vitamins in with their calcium in the calcium dish. For the frogs, and other lizards as well as my tarantula I just dust the crickets with them. For my bearded dragons I will lightly dust the crickets with the calcium and sprinkle the vitamins over her veggies and fruits.
For my snake I will gently sprinkle some onto her frozen mice when she eats.

You don't have to sprinkle calcium on frozen rodents for snakes.. At least that's what I've always been told...

I use Fluker's Calcium, Herptivite, and the Nature's Reptiles Vita Spray (beardies)

I'd suggest the rep-cal calcium, rep-cap calcium+d3, and rep-cal herptivite. I used to use those. I forget why I changed. Nothing bad. I think because the store didn't have any when I went, and I have problems getting out of routine. I need to change back though.

Thats good to know. I guess I do it just because Im over worried. Its my first snake and I dont see how frozen mice could be high in anything. But thanks for the info.
