I am using the same dusting powder as you. But I have been talking to a reptile nutrional expert, and apparently the D3 amount in it is twice as high as it should be. I don't think this would cause any major problems should you choose to continue using it at every feeding, but he did recommend alternating everyday with a straight calcium carbonate dust. I am extremely paranoid about things like over or under supplementing (mainly because of past experiences) so I am going to follow his advice. He also recommended that due to many of the perishable ingredients it should be kept cool and replaced every six months (but I think it may say that on the container). Just wanted to let you know because it's something I would want to know,

-ignorance is not to be punished when one is trying to gain knowledge...what scares me is the vast number of people who, when given the information to gain knowledge, choose to ignore it.

Hi

Just thought that I would let you know that "The Bean Farm" sells Rep-Cal that has just straight calcium in it and nothing else. They sell it in large quanity containers or the regular size jar.
