I'm afraid my beardie isn't getting enough calcium. I was wondering if the calcium powder could be combined with the parazap tea. And if so how many parts calcium to parazap?

It may be a better idea to get a pc. of cuttlebone and scrape it on his veggies. It's a great source of calcium and will be no chance of D3 overdose.

That's funny, I was under the impression that calcium carbonate was an inferior form of calcium (or some of this forum would have us believe that). Cuttle bone IS cal. carbonate. And, by the wat

Is it your goal in life to be a cocky smart a$$? You can't seem to comment any other way.
If I wish to suggest something that won't cost this person much money, but will give a bit of extra calcium, so be it.
If I want to believe that calcium from plants are more readily absorbed then sources from shell or rock, there's really nothing you can do about it is there?
If it would make you happy, I can suggest he buy Absolute Calcium from the same person he bought parazap from (and evidentally trusted).
I never said that Calcium Carbonate was no good at all, just less absorbable.
You offered no help to this person, just a smart a$$ comment to me, which I'm sure I and others can do without.

Hi
on www.parazap.com you see also a product called absolute calsium.
read it .
stupid i forgot this is made of plants and get better into system then regular calsium.
byeeeeeee

Hi
miner all from sticky tongtue farms is a nice one the one with yellow cap is indoor.
if you dust with it and you have a good uvb lighting it must be ok if you dust 4,5 time a week .
you can give him cuttlefish bone white ovaal shape stuf a shell of a catfish.
the white stuf you take out with a knife thin flakes you put on rocks and on the salad it also full with calsium.
but i think uvb is more importent then giving more calsium .
if a beardie have parasites like worms you have a change the calsium get eaten by the parasite before the dragon can absorb it well.
if you realy wanna give calsium then do 1,knife tip on 1/3 of cup tea/ water.

If you are using the absolute calcium, then you can make the tea just like the parazap tea.....I would make them seperate and administer them seperately so you know how much is given. You can also give them a little extra with the cuttle bone trick Christy offered too. What makes you think you dragon is not getting enough calcium? Are they showing symptoms?
