What brand of Multivitamins?

[bettafish]

So I hear that I need to add multivitamins for my future Leopard Gecko once a week. What brand do I get, and how do I give it to the Leopard Gecko? Could anyone tell me how they do it? A picture of the multivitamin container would be nice...

I use an all in 1 suppliment. No need to mix calcium D3 and multi vit plus you only buy 1 container and you don't need to leave a calcium dish in your tank 24/7. I dust every other feeding since my leo was 7 mos old and I use Repashy calcium plus ICb or you can find the T-Rex leopard gecko dust icb by sandfire foods a lot easier locally. Depending on the age of your leo you would dust feeders ever feeding or every other feeding or 3x a week... it's a debated topic.

We all have different methods. If you read the caresheets here they'll explain them too http://geckoforums.net/articles.php?c=115

Dusting feeders- I do Rep-Cal Pink label (calcium w/d3) Once a week, Herptive blue label Once a week, then you leave pure calcium in the cage at all times in a little bottle cap.

So this stuff once a week?:

Could I just leave the rep-cal pink label stuff because its calcium in the tank at all times? Or do I have to do the pink label once a week, with normal calcium without D3 in the tank all the time?

To be clear (sorry if I'm being annoying, I just really wanna get this right) I do pink label rep-cal once a week in the food, calcium all the time in a tiny dish, and the rep-cal blue label multivitamin once a week in the food?

If you go with an all in 1 suppliment you won't need to worry about all that, just dust and feed.

 

[bettafish]

Could you recommend a good brand of an all-in-one supplement? I just need the brand name because I have to find all the stuff I need online.

I already posted that in my first post with pictures to make it easier for you to find. You can find the silver pouch repashy at josh's frogs that I know of for sure, the T-Rex is available at reptiledirect.com, LLL Reptile, and just about most other herp supply sites.

Woops! I had a blond moment there! Sorry >.< I wont be able to get those, as those websites probably dont ship to Canada. I'll just forget about getting the all-in-ones ^^ Thanks for your help

Joshe's frogs offers international shipping http://www.joshsfrogs.com/ look for the repashy suppliment here tho http://www.joshsfrogs.com/product/1367/27/repashy-calcium-plus-icb-4-oz you can select your shipping choices at check out.

Also LLL Reptile can ship internationally http://lllreptile.com/store/policies/international and here http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog/reptile-supplies/vitamins-medicines-and-cage-cleaners/-/t-rex-leopard-gecko-dust/ for the T-Rex leopard gecko dust.

Reptiledirect.com also has international shipping http://www.reptiledirect.com/shipping-policy.aspx here for the product http://www.reptiledirect.com/leopardgeckodusticb.aspx

I don't think getting it is really gonna be that hard even if you do have to go on line.

 

[bettafish]

Thanks for the links! It wasnt about hardness, I was just getting confused. I didnt think I could find those things in stores that ship to canada.

 

[prettyinpink]

PetSmart I believe ships to Canada...I think there's a lot of reptile places that ship to canada...too bad roger isn't seeing this

Just do a google search. I use Rep-Cal brands.

Good luck!

I checked petsmart online and they don't sell the all in one's like the T-Rex or the repashy but do carry some of the others Erica mentioned.

Most herp stores online will ship to canada for dry goods, the problem is when it comes to feeders or herps mostly. Just check their shipping policy before your order.

Thanks for the help everyone ^^

Thanks, this actually answers most of what I asked in my own post earlier today. I guess I should read more before I post things.
