This is a great site. Even my Vet recommended it, after he gave my two boxes a check up last month.
I've never been one to give my 2 oldest girls vitamins, because they used to eat pretty regularly. But now they seem to turn their noses up at everything but earthworms.
I have a very large, indoor, turtle enclosure and take them outside when I get a chance, maybe once a month to play in the backyard.
For the past 30 years, I've used Vitashell, skin and shell conditioning cream on them once a month. They've always liked it and makes them look new and shiny like a brand new car.
I have an older jar of T-Rex vitamin powder that has Calcium, Phosphorus, Vitamin A, D3, C, and Bata Carotene. To me, it seems to have a lot of vitamin A, 480,000 IU.
(I personally don't take vitamin A in Human Multi-Vitamins, because it gives me stomach cramps.)
When I took my 2 girls to the Vet, he gave then both a shot of vitamin A, and it seemed to have perked them up for a couple of weeks and they started eating better, but now, they are both sluggish again. Weather has nothing to do with their inactivity, as I said they are inside all the time. I figured that since they don't hibernate like they would do in the wild, that they just get lazy once in awhile.
Any comments on vitamin A ?
I just bought a new container of Zoo Med, Repti-Calcium powder, that only has Calcium Carbonate and vitamin D3, from the local pet store. I couldn't find anything with vitamin A..
