Ok- today Jess has eaten everything! Silkworms- gone, pellets nibbled on, and salad gobbled up Just the way a Mommy likes to see her kids eat LOL So I am thinking I went a little too fast for her on the T-rex. Before I was doing every other day repcal calcium with d3 and a weekly vitimin. Then I got the icb instead of the vgf that I had ordered. So they were only getting the icb with their silkworm and the occasional super. Well I finally got the vgf last week and they got thats when Jess started not to eat as much. Would the icb be enough without the vgf or should I just slowly introduce the vgf? I feed silkworms daily so would icb be enough suppilments? Should I still give them the repcal calcium with d3? I so sorry for all the questions but I want to make sure that I'm doing the right thing for both my little guys.

If you are feeding and dusting silkworms daily to every other day, yes, it will be enough. I would still try to add the vgf to the salads, slowly if you like to let them aquire a taste if need be.
good luck

If you are using the icb as often as mentioned, you should not be using rep-cal with d3. There is plenty calcium and d3 in the t-rex supps.

Thanks! She was doing fine with the icb but once the vgf was started I guess she wasn't too sure on the taste. I'll try to include the vgf every other day till she gets used to it. I bought 2 bottels! She had a plain salad with pellets today and she just keeps on eating! I guess she's picky Thanks again!
