Laura, np. I used to feed my leos crickets and pinky mice. I used Rep Cal with D3 and Herptivite. I had great success and if I got an infertile egg it was a big deal. It almost never happened. Once I switched over to mealworms/supers I had more problems. When I switched my supplementation methods this season the problems went away.

lol,..... Kelli why don't you just post your supplementation methods in a sticky thread, save you a lot of typing

btw i have a question about Vionate. You give it to them in a dish... Do they really eat it voluntarily? Because I've tried several herp vitamin dusts and the one thing they all have in common is that the herps hate the taste and smell. It's that bitterness that comes from the B vitamins, brewers yeast based. If leos actually like the taste of Vionate, then I'm ordering me some today.

I have seen them lick the Vionate dishes before. One thing you could do (I do this occasionally as well) is put the feeder worms in the Vionate dish of your adults, or dust the bugs with Vionate occasionally. It certainly doesn't keep them from eating the worms, little piggies!

I have seen many of my babies licking the vionate straight from the bowl since switching from rep cal d3.

Thanks Kelli and Fred, this is good to know. I'm going to give Vionate a try.

Laura, if you have a dog supply whole sale shop around you give it a try. I was able to find 2 lb vionate jars for $15.99. :eek3: *** I would also like to add a BIG thanks to Kelli who was more than willing to share her info with me and the forum! You rule Kelli!

Thanks Kelli I found it. It is confusing sometimes with so many differences of opinion. I just want what is best for my animals and their offspring. I found a nutritional break down for crickets and mealworms but haven't been able to locate one for roaches yet does anyone know of any web sites with this information.
