calcium for crickets

[AJ99]

The reptile store told me to buy Cal-stron reptile calcium with bone building strontium by blue iguana, is good for dusting crickets? It does not say anything about D3 which worries me.

What type of UVB bulb are you using?

Rep cal with D3 for use with a Reptisun:

Herptivite:

And the Reptisun 10.0 Tube:

Now you should also look at the store attached to this forum.. I think that all these items are cheaper cause we are members.

Any questions?

Me, me!! We bought Zoo Med Repti Calcium with D3 ( http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=6016+6057+19709&pcatid=19709 ). Is this ok? It has not arrived yet. We just adopted our boy and he came with something called 'Dragon Dust' which appears to be a multi-vitamin with calcium. Is the Zoo Med ok to use? It hasn't arrived yet so we can always return it and order something else if not... also, if it is ok to use do we also use the Dragon Dust he came with? ???

Thanks!

Follow exactly what Janie posted. Rep Cal w\D3 and Herptivite.

And just an FYI www.petmountain.com seems to be the cheapest store out there, so I would check there first.

Thanks Keith... these are to be used with the tube uvbs only... If you have a Mercury Vapor bulb, then the cal without the D3 is correct... and yes, Rep Cal is top in the USA !
