maybe lack in calcium?

ok so i made a litter box for my female coffee and i put her over there to show her what it was and she started eating eat so i took it out straight away... it is calcium sand so i wondered if she was lacking in calcium and thats why she started to eat it so i decided i would let her lick a bit of the calcium i dust her worms in but she turned her nose up... im confused ???

have you got a little tub of pure calcium powder in her viv? I keep a bottle lid full in stubbs viv and if she wants some she'll pop over and have some!

no i havent got any of the pure calcium powder just the stuff to dust the food... could u give me a link online and show me what one i need to get... i was looking at the exo terra ones but didnt know if it was the right one??

is any of them on here any good?

Try this one. It's good pure calcium, phosphorous free, with no D3. You put that in a bottle cap or lil dish and leave it inside the tank at all time. They'll lick it when they want/need calcium.

As for calcium sand, the problem with sand is they'll want to eat it sometimes, so I try to avoid calcium sand myself. They love to ingest calcium, I see mine do it all the time. Sometimes they do so to help them digest food, sometimes they do it because they feel they need it.

Do you have a pets at home near you, if you do they sell vetark products which includes a good pure calcium powder.

I buy exoterra calcium.. which is pure with no D3
&& exoterra multivitamin.. which is the one with D3 and all the other important things

I just leave the pure calcium in the tank in a bottle cap And they will eat it when you are not looking usually.. I've only ever seen banana eat it once but I can always see marks in it where she's had her nose in it

Because she's refusing to eat dusted morioworms, I now have the exoterra multivitamin with D3 in her tank instead.. but Grumpy has the pure calcium

so the multivitamin one is for dusting sarah yeah? x

i keep coming across this one

http://exo-terra.com/en/products/powder_calcium_d3.php but it has d3 in it so what would i use this for? dusting?

and where can i get the one without d3? x

you can get the exoterra calcium from most pet shops. and yes, thats the one you want

and that's the one I have for dusting.. the calcium + D3.. i thought it was called multivitamin

I got the calcium + D3 at pets at home i think
the calcium one at a local pet shop

I dust my locusts in calcium powder every other day with calcium powder and about two too three times a week with a multi vitamin, and I have a bottle cap of pure calcium in the viv if anke feels the need to top up on it

thats the one i want to put in the viv? x

yeah the pure calcium, without D3
dusting with the D3/multivit
