Calcium Dusting

[Missy]

Gobi is pushing 9 months old, growing fast (and shedding to prove it!), and is just over a foot long.

I dust his crickets in the morning, daily, when I serve him up his breakfast. But I do not dust the veggies or super worms.

When is it safe to start dusting every other day for him? I know that at first it indeed had to be daily, due to needing the bone-building and bone-strengthening. But does he still need the daily intake (with Vitamin D3 added) at this stage of his life?

I personally still dust daily as all my dragons ages vary from 3 years to approx 8 months, cant be sure of the youngests exact age as he is a rescue. But everyone is different in their daily routine.

their veggies too? how often do you give vitamins?
not tryin to put you on the spot ~ just wondering.I'm still trying to feel confident in what I am doing!

yeah i do the veg too. I give vitamin twice a week, but to tell the truth my lot dont eat the bugs or salad with the vit as well as they do the calcium. I have tried various types of vit and they the same with it all. They all doing ok so they must be getting enough tho.

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking on keeping it daily (for most part, like if I had to rush out the door). At least until he is a year old. Then scale possibly to every other day.
