Vitamins

lvergrl_2001 Jul 18, 2003 02:12 PM

I am using Natures Reptile Vitamin Spray and am also using Jurassical calcium supplement. I wanted to know if there are any other vitamins that I should be using? Is it better to use individual vitamin supplements or is ok to use a multi-vitamin supplement like I am? Thanks for all the advice, you guys have really been helping me out!!!

Don't waste your money on some special vitamin spray(atleast thats my opinion). You should try and find a powdered multi-vitamin with as low of Vitamin A in it as possible because of the risk of a deadly overdose of this vitamin. I think most people would recommend the Repcal brand as the best but Im not sure. I don't know anything about the Jurrasic calcium but check to make sure there is no Vitamin A in it because sometimes the companies will add it to the calcium. Multivitamins should be fed once a week, calcium once a day for growing/gravid BDs ,and calcium 2-3 times a week for nongravid adults.
