Plain calcium w/d3???

[erebus45]

Hi everybody I am new to beardies I have done hours and hours of research and I seen somewhere (can't remember where) someone put the calcium power in a shallow dish just by itself so the beardie could have it when they wanted... Is that recommend or even needed cuz I do dust the crickets with it but didn't know if maybe that was a good idea... Thank you.... Oh and I have a baby beardie if that helps

Since your baby gets calcium dusted crickets, I wouldn't see a need for a calcium dish. Too much calcium is just as bad as too little, and the signs for hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia are virtually indistinguishable without a blood test.

I only leave supplement dishes in with my geckos because their mealworms are impossible to dust.

I agree, best to just dust the feeders

Certain reptiles need the dish of calcium however dragon's are not one of those so just dust the feeders.
