Question on Calcium Supplements

nasr_36 Dec 20, 2003 09:40 AM

Hey,

Do calcium and vitamin supplements lose their effectiveness over time? Ive been using the same repcal for two years, and im only half way done (i dust every other feeding). Is it time to buy a new one though?

Thanks,
M.N

The calcium should be fine, you might want to close the lid after use though, but the vitamin suppplements are likely to be breaking down after being open that long.

Personally, I'd pick up vitamins now and replace the calcium supplement if you'll be breeding this year.

Good luck, excellent question.
