How much Calcium

How often should you give calcium and the vitamins to the baby beardies. ? Im currently giving the vitamins about every 2nd day and the calcium about twice a week. Is that enough?

It would probably be best to do it the other way round- calcium every second feed (or even every feed) and multivitamins once or twice a week. the biggest risk with fast growing baby beardies (and other reptiles) is metabolic bone disease.

I find the powder is easiest- just dust their crickets (ie 'shake-n-bake' style) and when they are older and readily accepting salad/vegies you can mix their calcium and multivitamins in there.
