I dust with Rep-Cal Calc with d3 on a daily basis on the greens and every other day or so (very lightly) on the bugs, but have never really used the Herptivite in the past but recently picked some up as I have heard some good and bad reviews.. I understand that I am only used to use this once a week on bugs? what about on salads instead as my dragons are older and get more greens then bugs at this point. What exactly should my sched be? Use calc every day, and the herptivite once a week? Do I dust with calc and herptivite both on the day that the herptivite gets dusted? How do you guys do it? Thanks!

personaly i use a 50/50 mix of both dusts on everything. I dust all insects and all greens.

For adult dragons, they should have dusted insects (or very lightly dusted greens) 2-3 times a week only with both the multivitamine and calcium powder.

Ok so how does this sound for a schedule..

Adult Dragon very rarely eats bugs unless they are in a can. He is just too lazy to chase them I guess so he eats a majority of greens.

I should dust with both rep-cal and herptivite like monday wednesday and friday or something like that on his greens and any insects, or is it only supposed to be one or the other (greens or insects)?

My Juvi/Sub-Adult dragon loves bugs, pellets, everything basicily. I was told that I should be giving her calcium Monday-Friday and the Herptivite only once on Saturday or Sunday. Also am I supposed to be dusting both bugs and greens for her with the calcium or just one of them.

As of right now I have been giving both of them calcium every day of the week on one of their meals a day (mostly greens as they both do eat alot of that) so is this ok or am I overdoing it? Please gimme any info you can. Thanks!
