    Default Supplements and Vitamins

    I went to a reptile store today to buy some supplements and vitamins. They didn't have Herptivite, only Rep-cal so the guy told me you can use Reptivite for my pixie frog. Does reptivite contain enough calcium for his growing bones? I know it's a 2:1 ratio for calcium to phosphorus. I was going to use Reptivite only like once a week since it has so many other vitamins that I don't want him to get a over dosage of vitamins. Should I go out and buy Rep-cal along side with my Reptivite. Or just go spend money again and get Rep-cal with Herptivite at another store that has both in stock?

    I don't know that reptivite contains calcium. Are you sure it does? If it does then you should be fine.

    Yeah it's got pretty much everything you would need. The one thing that's nice about Herptivite is it's got beta-carotene which I read converts into Vitamin A more easy for amphibians/reptiles, but this should do well. The second picture shows 2 amounts of calcium along side with phosphorus underneath it 2:1 ratio. Sorry I couldn't get a better picture, my hands are shaky.
