The ingredient your looking for is calcium carbonate. I’ve always been able to find it at my local Petsmart and Petco. I use a product called Bone Aid microstick calcium powder made by T-Rex: Link. The only ingredient is calcium carbonate. Good luck.

Or you can get Jurrassi Cal brand. Also, Reptivite brand but there are 2 kinds.. one with the vitd3 and one without. It says it right on the front of the labels. Just go in there next time and say "I need to see your selection of calcium supplements." Dont go into detail cuz pet store people are pretty dumb, so you gotta do your own investigation to find the right kind! :)

or you could save yourself time and money and just go to reptiledirect.com and pick up Rep-Cal with no d3 for like 2.50 a jar. Also they have all kinds of other stuff if you need anything i would recommend getting it so you dont have to pay shipping twice.

Yes, wellif your dragonis young then yes, but if he is older than 7 months then about every other day. You also need the calcium with the vitd3 so you can dust that about once a week if you want. Also, just to be realsafe, you can get a multi-vitamin looks like a grey color and use that about 2-3 week..for extra supplements and health.

yes. The dust issue I see you are having is a very basic thing for them in their life. You need 3 dusts.
One without vitd3..whatever brand you want. The one you asked about is a popular brand.
One with vitd3..whatever brand.. just make sure it says it on the bottle " Without VitD3 and Phosphorus free". Thats not hard to figure out.
One dust that is a multi-vitamin which there is usually one kind at the pet store you will see it.

Like I said...pretty basic. I understand you want to make sure you are doing it right but just read the labels and they will explain it! :)

Oops, I messed up. I meant that the one that doesnt have VitD3 in it will say "Without VitD3 and Phosphorus Free" on the label! Sorry! But, I’m sure you understood!

My brand I use are Jurasi Cal Calcium supplement that has no VitD3 in it.
Then I have Reptivite that does have the VitD3 in it. Which I use once maybe (rarely) twice a week..at least once a week though.
I dont use the multivitamin supplement. I use crushed alfalfaand bee pollen as my multivitamins. :)
So.. its up to you like I said on the 3rd one. I would use one or the other methods though.
And I totally understand about wanting the best for your beardie.
Also, do you know of a good food chart for them? They can eat a lot when it comes to veggies, and that should be done daily..every morning make him a nice lil beardie salad..cut very small. You can get cactus pad/ prickly pear and take the skin off and cut the inside out and they like that...dandelion greens, collards. I usually get my greend from an organic store just b/c you dont know if they have pestisides on them from the regular store! SometimesI get from my local grocery though. If you dont have a good nutrition guide then go to this link...

for the vegies i just make a big salad thats all chopped up made of: butternut squash, collard greens, mustard greens, and a litle kale sometimes and then i just give him a small one everyday. he doesnt eat it ever but i try lol. he is still young though so he eats alot (about 15-25 three times a day) of crix. so i bought a jar of reptivite with d-3 in it, calcium wout D-3 or phosophorus, and another jar of calcium with D-3 in it. so i guess thats good for the suplements, i have two rep-cals and a reptivite vitamin supplement. So if i need anything else supplement wise let me know I just got paid yesterday :-) thanks guys
