I use the Calcium with D3, but actually only lightly dust his veges once every other day. He gets calcium from his daily bugs (I give them the calci grain and gel) and I found that dusting every day caused the white in his poo to become slightly chalky which is an indication of too much calcium.

For vitamins I use Rep-Cal Herptivite with Beta Carotene. I lightly dust his salads with it about every 4 days and on an off day from his calcium. He's picky. If I put both on in the same day he wouldn't eat it. lol

I was giving blaze when he was a baby calcium D 3 5 x per week once per feeding lightly dusted on his bugs- vitamins w beta carotene 2 x per week once per feeding lightly coated- now that he is over a year the vitamins are still the same feeding but calcium is being alternated between the d 3 and calcium w/ out d 3- but insects are fed 2-3 times per week
