The best UV lamp most of us use is the ReptiSun 5.0 which is the most consistently good producer of the correct UV spectrum. Change the bulbs every 6 months. If all you are feeding is the crix fed that particular food, the nutrition is not complete. You need to provide a variety of insects as a single feeder such as crix are not very balanced in Ca and phosphorus. Feeders are more nutritious if they are fed a variety of fresh leafy greens, chunks of fruit (oranges), a fortified cereal such as Total, bee pollen. The point of the variety is to help fill in any nutritional gaps that may be present. Dusting too much can result in OVERdose of Ca and the symptoms can actually be similar to those of a deficiency. It is better to gutload a variety of insect feeders directly rather than depend on a dust. An adult cham should get a dusting of Ca once a week, and a dusting of a good quality herp vitamin once a month. [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Hide Replies ]
