    Default Calcium & Multivitamin Question

    I've been hearing a lot about needing Calcium and Multivitamins for Pacman frogs.
    I have some Calcium with Vitamin D3...but no Multivitamins.
    Is the Calcium I have enough? Is it the wrong kind of Calcium? Where do I find Multivitamins? What are they called?

    Thanks!

    Calcium with vitamin D3 is good and should be used every other feeding, except on the day of the multivitamin. There are several brands. Which brand do you use?

    There are a few good mvi's...most commonly used are Repashy and Herptivite. Repashy has its own instructions, I believe it is used more than weekly, though I am not positive, as I have not used it. I could check for you if you'd like. Herptivite is used one day a week.

    go to a store that sell reptile supplies and ask for reptile multivitamins, any would do. usually they have like 5 different kinds.
    a few to mention
    Zoo Med Reptivite Reptile Vitamins at PETCO
    Exo Terra : Multi Vitamin / Multi Vitamin Powder Supplement
    Rep-Cal Herptivite Multivitamins - Sale - Reptile - PetSmart
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    For Calcium + D3 I'm using the Fluker's brand.
    I think Herptivite is my best bet as the pet stores near me don't carry Repashy.

    Thanks for the comment!

    These are the two supplements I use and they work well.
