In Reply to: Opinion of UVB-Vit D drops? posted by Lynn on January 28, 2001 at 13:02:38:

: Can these be helpful even if using correct lights? My iguanas like to move around, not always being under lights. Instrustions say to give weekly. Know that it has corrected metabolic bone disease, when given in daily doses for a while.

Ok, think about what you just said .... it is reported to correct MBD and since we all know that the only thing that can correct MBD is a boost in calcium and exposure to UVB that means that this stuff probably has D3 in it which we all know should not be administered chemically to an iggy.
Additionaly, the fact that most of these products meant for igs do not list ingredients means you have no idea what you are really giving him/her. You couldn't pay me a million dollars to use my beloveds as test animals. Sorry, I just don't think it's worth it.
Ig you're that worried about UV exposure we can try to help you find a better solution! Just let us know and I'm sure there are lots of folks on this board who will jump in with an idea or two!
