You know, wendy, this Ca:P stuff just can't be rocket science. It shouldn't be a big deal if it's 2.1 to 1 or 1.9 to 1 rather than the optimum 2:1. I'd say that if you feed Godzilla a balanced diet and go easy on the problem foods (i.e., spinach, cabbage family), and keep an eye out for symptoms of metabolic bone disease, everything should be allright.

If you want to give him a shot of suppliment evrery now & again to be on the safe side, why not? Don't they blow excess Ca out their nose anyhow?

: When I got Godzilla the owner before me told me to but a pinch of
: Vitolife and Reptocal on his food each day. She fed him Romain lettuce,
: Iguana food(store bought)and crikets in the summertime. I know-WRONG!!
: My questions are-since I do(try,if he eats it)give him a balanced
: diet,should I be giving him the pinch of Vitolife & Reptocal?
: I read somewhere the older they get you should only give them a pinch
: of this stuff once a week. I may of read this wrong.
: Also you all have mentioned Centrum(crushed) is this given everyday?
: Do you add other vitamins with it?
: I am totally confused!!!!!
