I have a question about using ReptiCal.
I have two 5-month-old sulcatas. They are on a diet of grass and misc weeds from our yard, cactus, hibiscus leaves, blackberry leaves and a bit of chopped zucchini or similar veggie. I also occasionally add a bti of chicory, endive or misc greens from the grocery store. In addition, they get a few soaked pellets of Mazuri a couple times a week, although so far, they have not touched it.
They each have a cuttlebone in their enclosures, but I have only seen one of them actually eating it.
They are in indoor enclosures (approx 3x7 each) and I bring them outside into my yard in a wire pet fence when the weather is nice....approx 3-4 days a week.
My question is this.....I have been using ReptiCal on their food twice a week...but I have noticed that on the days when I use it, both of them seem to eat less than half their normal amount of food for the day.
Should I be worried? Is it possible they just don't like the taste...or are they trying to tell me they don't need additional calcium? Any suggestions or advice?
Thanks in advance!
