Vitamin and Calcium Supplements for Sun-Adult WTFs?

[irThumper]

I read not to give the calcium/D3 and vitamin supplements at the same feeding? Why is this? Wouldn't it be ok if you were dusting different feeder insects with the diff powders? Say earthworm with calcium/D3 and waxworm with Vit powder in the same feeding?

CA/D3 has to be at right ratio to enhance CA absorption and good formulas ensure it's that way. If you mix in another product; it will alter the ratio in a negative way. Does not matter if you dust different prey with different products; it will mix up in stomach and reduce CA absorption levels .

But it's still ok to feed a Cal/D3 dusted insects on one day and then later in the week feed Vit dusted insects?

Yes, it is ok. That's a reccomended way, 2xweek ca/p, 1xweek multivitamins, but not on the same day.

Ok good, because that's what I've been doing. Ask it not know it not! Thanks!
