Hello All,
I am looking for some information on vitamins and supplements that should be fed to Western Hermann’s hatchlings.
The hatchlings will be housed indoors for the winter and I will be using a PowerSun MVB light. In the summer they will be outside. That being said will I need Calcium with D3 or without D3 for the winter? I have read information where if you use a MVB that emitts uva/uvb llight you don't need cacium with D3 Is this true? Or sould it be added because the MVB would be less effeciant than natural sunlight. Obivously I want to keep these hatchlings happy and healthy, are there any other vitamin supplements I should be feeding them?

Thanks for your help

I was told that even if you use a uva/uvb light that you still need to give them calcium with D3 just because, like you said, the MVB is less efficient than the sun.
