2:1 calcium phosphorus powder

[lucy]

Hi all,

thought i would ask as i have in the past discussed with a few friends about this powder, some have said they use it in little amounts to help balance the 2:1 calc phos in their diets and to make sure that they are getting sufficent amounts, and others have said that they have heard of it but never used it. those who have used it said they have found it works really well and havent encountered any problems in the 6-7 years that they have been keeping the little fuzz butts :sg:

so i was wondering if anyone else has tried it/or used it in conjunction with their suggies diets?
personally i havent as i am a bit wary as to what i use etc, and just because it has worked for them doesnt neccisarily mean that it will work for me...

so your opinions and views on this would be great!

Hi Lucy, I never use any reptile vitamins for my gliders, does it contain D3?   

I make sure my ratio's are good and if they are slightly off then I add calcium powder.

Have you posted in the intros section - we like to know all about you and your animals.

so if my food ratio is exactly 2.1 do i not need to use supplements?

You don't add calcium to any meals that are spot on 2:1, but you still use your other suppliments.

what she said *points up*

I was working hard as well Mark tis alright for some sitting at home on their backsides aye LOL

with regards to the cal: phos powder no I do not use it and no I wouldnt recommend it becuase if the cal: Phos is off its normally off with way too much phos, so adding a 2:1 cal: phos powder would not change the ratios in the slightest the way you want them too, if your Phos is too high then all you need to do is add calcium.

Ok that made no sense to me did it help anyone else
