Hey guys,

I've never really had a calcium dish provided in my leopard geckos enclosures, but as I'm going to be breeding them next year it must be a good idea.

I was just wondering what is best to provide... I use nutrobal as my dusting supplement, but would this be too potent to be left in a dish all the time? (not just a calcium supplement but also multivitamin, contains lots of D3). Is a 'raw' calcium supplement the best option? If so, what product should I use?

Thanks,
Ste.

I use calypso cricket dust, but if its hard for you to get hold of, just scrape a cuttlefish bone into a fine dust, and use that, same thing reallybut cheaper Cool

Yeah I looked at calypso, pretty cheap online and pretty much pure calcium. Probably use some of that (Y)
