Vitamin/Cal suppliments for leos

[bamsd619]

Hi gang:

Quick question. If I dust my mealworms with stuff I bought from a well know reptile person (on this forum), do I need to provide any additional minerals/vitamins in a separate dish for my leos?

Thanks,
B

We need to know what the "Stuff" you bought is in order to know what else you may need to dust the mealworms with

I dust my Geckos feeders with calcium powder (no D3) with almost every feeding. About twice a month I will dust the feeders with calcium with D3 and a vitamin powder, Vionate.

I also leave a small dish of calcium powder (no D3) in my juvies and adult females tank at all times.

Hope this helps!

It is Pro Gut load from PRO geckos. Where do I buy the calcium powder (noD3) at?

Pro Gutload is meant to be fed to your feeders, not to dust it on them when feeding them to your lizards.

You can get the calium at most pet stores, or you can buy it online, here's a link to the kind I use:

It's the same thing most professional athletes take :main_yes:

Yes, Cody's Pro Gutload is for feeding your crickets and mealworms, not dusting the feeders. You will need to use calcium powder every 3 feedings, and a multivitamin weekly. I use Rep-Cal products, which can be found at PetCo or PetsMart.

The Pet-Co that I worked at didn't keep Rep-Cal at all, seems it was a PetsMart specific product. We use Osteo-Form and Vionate, as well as RepCal calcium with d3. We also keep a small dish of Osteo-Form in the tub with each female. It has worked great for us the past 2 seasons.
