Posted by: BDlvr at Wed Mar 21 06:02:41 2007 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by BDlvr ] I agree that vitamin supplements should be used no more than once a week. But, I have to disagree that Calcium without D3 should be used unless your dragon has regular access to unfiltered sunlight. The Rep-Cal Calcium with D3 is formulated for use with this species when MVB or Fluorescent lights are used. Otherwise, Rep-Cal sells a Calcium Supplement without D3 designed for reptiles in an outdoor enclosure or nocturnal reptiles. D3 is produced by UVB in sunlight interacting with the dragons skin. The amount of UVB in sunlight is substantially more in the shade than both your MVB and Fluorescent bulbs together. If your worried about it maybe have both Rep-Cal products and switch off days. I have always used the Calcium with D3 at every live feeding (but 1 for vitamins) and never had a problem. I highly doubt that excess D3 is your problem. [ Hide Replies ]
