Dust When?

[JohnMatthew]

How often do you all add vitamins/calcium supplements and to what specific foods? From what I've read no D3 needed if sufficient UVB lighting and no calcium on whole prey items with good bones(ie - adult mice/rats). Other than that i'm only finding kind of vague info like, "a couple times a week" :-D

Also what exact supplements/brands does everyone suggest?

Any specific info is appreciated, Thanks

If I did use it, it would not be more than once a week. I would rather err on the safe side, and rely more on a good diet and lighting.

You can add Calcium to anything your tegu will eat. Preferably moist food before adding a little calcium on it. You don't need D3 if you are raising your tegu under natural sunlight conditions.

Or with proper UV, I will add that to your statement.

I dust everything with calcium. I mist with water first so the calcium will stick.
