Hi- You will need a D3 supplement with indoor housing, no light bulb can give off the UV light the sun can. I use the Powersun bulb on three of my cages and it has been a good bulb. There is great debate over what supplement is better then the other, I use the Miner-All II and have not tried anyother brands yet so I cant give an opinion over which brand is better, other then the Miner-All has worked for me. Hope this helps!

:I just got ready to order some Miner-All and a Powersun bulb. Since I will be using UVB lighting should I still get the "inside" Miner-all containing vitamin D3? Was worried about D3 overdose. By the way, it's for a 2 month old Veiled. Opinions?
