    I have a 2 year old male crested gecko. He appears to be perfectly healthy. He’s alert, eating, sheds well etc. Although I’m worried about his calcium intake. I got him from a friend who would leave a dish full of calcium powder in his cage and only feed him mealworms. I hear a lot of warnings...

    I have a 6 month old horsefield tortoise. I sprinkle his food three times a week with calcium powder. I’ve noticed that when I do he’ll try and bite the powder off his feeding slate first rather than go for the food. Once I sprinkled a bit too much in and it formed a small pile on a leaf and...

    So my question is that could you increase the calcium content in crickets by feeding them a high Ca:P ratio diet? I know you can increase it a bit, but is it possible for crickets to have a 2:1 Ca:P ratio? Or the plus calcium only ends up in their waste? I'm not planning to stop dusting them...

    We have a Sulcata tortoise - yes we know he will get big and live long but we are committed owners. He is just a wee-bitty baby right now - and we want to keep his shell from pyramiding and we want to keep his toe-nails and beak trimmed (without trimming them ourselves!) We have calcium that...

    Hi, This is my first post and I am writing it quickly so I might not say the right things. On Sunday all of a sudden my male, 10 months old bearded dragon suddenly was not looking well and would not eat, over the next couple of days his health deteriorated quickly. I took him to my local vet on...

    My leopard gecko, Godzilla, is obsessed with calcium. He absolutely loves it, his eyes get huge when he sees a cricket or mealworm dusted in it. He has also numerous times licked excess calcium off my fingers and will lick it off the bottom of his tank. He has always been inconsistent with his...

I need answers, I don't want to make him ill because I've failed to supplement him correctly! :( He turned 6 months old yesterday, so he's at...
  14. Shelled - Turtles & Tortoise
    Hey everybody - I am new here :D I was wondering if you guys have ever heard about this because to me it seems a bit offish. I was told washing the turtle shell, then coating it with calcium powder and letting it airdry before releasing the turtle back into his tank would help the shell absord...
