Osteo-Form SA and Vionate?

[-Mischief]

I was informed by a breeder that the best sup to give herps is a mix of Osteo-Form SA and Vionate. #1 - is this true? #2 - what should the ratio be, Osteo-Form SA to Vionate?

A&M Gecko used that mixture. i don't know if they still work with leo's or not. it's 1 part osteo-form, 3 parts vionate.

I use it for my fatties, i dust the crickets every feeding, and for the ones that eat worms i just sprinkle it in the worms dish.

Here is the ratio i use (which is the same ratio A&M used):
-4 parts Vionate
-1 part Osteo-Form SA
-1 part Repti-Sand

oh yea... just watched their video. 4 parts vionate.

i tried it for a while minus the sand. still have the mixture. lately i've just been using plain osteoform sa.

I have had excellent results using Vionate/Osteo-Form mix...i do however think that next year (breeding season)...i will use Repashy's Calcium+ICB for my breeding females throughout the breeding season...the Vionate and Osteo-Form is the cheapest way talking BULK vitamin and Calcium supplements...but i do think that the Repashy Calcium +ICB is a superior product..but more expensive...which is why i will only use it for females during breeding season..and after the breeding season I will go back to giving them the Vionate Mix..those are my plans for next year

How can you tell the effective difference?
