Hi I’m sure this question has been answered multiple times on here but I’m here to ask again lol how often should I be giving my beardie calcium and nutrients? He’s 10 months old doing great but I’m currently supplementing him daily and wasn’t sure if I needed to re think his schedule. Thanks

For a 10 month old 5 x per week w/ calcium D3 ONCE per feeding and vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 x per week ONCE per feeding - both dusted on the insects lightly coated - when he gets to be a year old and depending on the UVB your using the calcium is going to change

Great thanks
I heard back and this is what she has said
I have personally not used the Vetark brand, but have talked to those that have used them.
As far as I know, they should be just fine.

Ah ok that’s good then, he has the vitamins 2 a week and the calcium the other 5. I supplement him every day just one feed that is right isn’t it ?

Yes when he turns a year old w/ the T 5 you will need to go to ONCE a week w/ the D3 and 2 times a week w / regular calcium - the vitamins depending on his consumption of his salads can be given once in awhile or if hes bad at eating them then the once a week will need to be implemented-
