What vitamins and minerals do.

We’re often told we need to use supplements, but it’s not always explained why we do so. In this video I explain what each vitamin and mineral that we find in our supplements does, why we must supply them, and what happens if we over- or under-supply them.

Supplementing and lighting schedule.

I use EarthPro supplements alongside a ProT5 UV lamp. This is a foolproof way to ensure your leopard gecko is getting everything it needs vitamins and minerals wise. In this video, I show how and when to use EarthPro A, Calcium Pro-Mg, RevitaliseD3 and Shed Support.

Metabolic bone disease.

Metabolic bone disease or ‘MBD’ can be easily avoided if proper care is given to your reptile, but sadly we continue to see this occur in geckos where their keeper has decided not to use the appropriate supplements and/or a UV lamp. In this video, I explain what MBD is and how to avoid it.
