Does anyone else not use a separate calcium bowl

[Latlaw]

in their tanks. I use Repashy Calcium Plus ICB and dust at every feeding. I was under the impression that it was enough. Should I add a calcium bowl in addition to this?

I have read that many people do it just in case. So whether or not they do. Its still there. I dust everything i feed them too, and i have a small little cup that is in the cage. One of my leos does eat the dust, while the other prefers to walk through and make a mess! haha

Since I switched to Repashy calcium plus I don't use a separate calcium dish in the adults' enclosures but I do use them for my hatchlings.

Thanks Aliza,

I have 1 adult, 2 four month olds, and a seven month old. At what age do you no longer call them hatchlings?

That is a great question, i have been wondering that too

I should probably stop calling them hatchlings when I start to see 1 poop every day or every other day instead of lots of poops, which to me means that they're still eating a lot and processing a lot. I'd say roughly between 25-40 grams. In all honesty, I treat all my hatchlings and juveniles the same until I sell them even though some are now over 50 grams. So the bigger juvies also still have calcium bowls but I don't worry too much about keeping them filled all the time.

i have a sunny d cap filled with cal powder and i have seen my little gecko go over and eat huge chunks of it...i guess he needed the cal so i keep some in every gecko inclosure just in case they want it

I still have calcium dishes in every tank just in case.

I also use the calcium plus. I put extra regular calcium in their food dishes and have seen some lick it up from there. I only put a separate calcium cup in my breeding females tubs. I used to put one in with everyone, but they were mostly dumped within a day which just wasted all that calcium. Putting it in the regular food bowl seems to help.

i've heard some place that you can put some calcium on the water bowl too...
anyone else?
