bone meal?

[reptastic]

i have been hearing monitor keepers on other forums saying that they add bone meal to their ground turkey along with crushed centrum tablets and use this as a staple for their lizards! i was wondering if any one else use bone meal as a source of calcium?while i plan to keep giving my tegus a variety diet, i was wondering if this is ok to give to tegus, or if i could just replace the calcium supplement with the bone meal or give them both! :chin

Bonemeal is often used in foods as a cheep form of calcium. You can use it to suplement foods with no problem i would still use reptile vitamins as well, just in case the quality of the batch of meal you get is low quality (example getting mainly chicken bonemeal verses mammal bonemeal). The recipe given above is not a stable for an omnivoris animal as it lacks other critical vitmains. Ground meat doesnt have organ meat in it which is were alot of vitmains are stored.
