Hi Lisa,
I'm not sure how long it is going to be when the pictures are added, and the editing/formatting is finished. The original nutrition manuscript was eleven pages including bibliography. The spindly leg article was five pages including the bibliography.

Oh good, I thought it might only be a couple of pages for some reason. I just recieved your other meassage and had a couple of questions relating to it. Because of the high Vit A ratio and the un-needed nutitional additives would you discontinue using it? (I don't know of the side effects of too much Vit A). If not, on the container it says to use it everyday, is it safe to do so? Once again, thanks for your info.

You do not have an excess of vitamin A in the supplement you have an excess of D3. (Ratio of 5 to 1 instead of 10 to 1). Excess D3 can be just as bad for the animal as excess vitamin A (such as causing calcification of soft body tissues).
If you are feeding the animal daily I would suggest using the vitamin supplement every other day and calcium on the alternate days.

Sorry I missread that, it's been a long week. On an up-note I recived my new baby leopard geckos, they are amazing and eating like pigs.
