okay, im really confused agout tha vitamins and the calcium. i have both the pure calcium from t-rex, and the vitamind/minerals for leos from t-rex. im just not sure when to use them and the amounts of using them. i dont want to overdose here or anything. but i do know to keep a dish of pure calcium in there.

thanks a million!

ive got the same questions as you, but excuse me may i ask what the calcium dish is?

You just keep a little dish of phosphorus=free calium in the tank at all times. The geckos will lick it .

You don't put vitamins in the calcium dish. Just add to the calcium you shake your feeders with but not every day, twice a week is usually about right, once a week can be sufficient.

unironically, it is a dish... with calcium in it...

I just use the T-rex dust, and leave a little in the dish as well. They lick up the dust trail the feeders use sometimes if I don't use the dish, but then again, ive only had them a day

If you have the t-rex leo supp., you don't need the calcium supp. The t-rex product has calcium in it, as well as vitamins, minerals, protien, carbs, fats, plant extracts(may enhance colors), and probiotics(bacteria that aid in digestion). With all that goodness in one powder, why just keep a calcium dish? What insects do you feed mostly?

i feed crickets to my little baby leo. but what i really want to know, is how many times a week should i dust with the t-rex vitamis? remember, its only a baby. also, do i ever dust them with the pure calcium? i feed her 5 baby crickets a day. is that alright?

Ok if the t-rex supp. you have is the sandfire superfoods leopard gecko dust(has a pic of a leo on the bottle)... you dust every feeding with it and you do not need a calcium dish. The t-rex product was formulated for daily use...think of it as a very high quality gutload that you dust the insects with rather than feed to them(although they would eat it).
