Since Odin ate a pebble yesterday I stopped and got a vitamin and mineral supplement today on the way home. I couldn't find Miner-all in any of the pet stores (shocking) so I picked up this:
http://www.petsmart.com/reptile/hea...-catid-500007?var_id=36-26776&_t=pfm=category

(I also picked up a different cuttlebone, you know, just in case he is mad at the one he has and ignoreso_O)


I started checking the ingredients against other supplements and I realized I don't know nearly enough about what sulcatas need, so I am here to ask the experts! I know that not all products are created equal and I can certainly order miner-all or whatever else is necessary if this is insufficient.

Here are the ingredients and analysis for those that don't like links:

That's a multi vitamin. I can never find Minerall either, so I always buy it online. I shop Amazon Smile and my charity of choice, Turtle Survival Alliance, benefits from my orders. ( smile.amazon.com/ )
