I haven't tried it with any neonate but back in '96 or so I had a female cal king lay eggs that split open on the ends...the eggs had windows when first laid...Only 2 out of the 9 hatched so I tried to dust every other mouse I fed her with calcium.....The next year she had the best looking eggs I have ever seen.....Gleeming white....But....None of them hatched and everyone of them died in the egg.....I thought then I had overdone it with the calcium and the shells were too thick for the neonates to cut with their egg tooth....

I have never used calcium supplement since....



But....I agree with Tony concerning the D3 and all the thought he put into his reasoning....I am willing to give it a try....



I think a mixed diet of lizards, quail and mice would be the best for my mexicana....been thinking of raising quail for years and paying someone to catch some sceloporus for me every year....LOL
