Question on calcium and vitamin powders
Do they always have to be sprinkled on top of the food or can you mix it in? I always see videos, posts, and the directions saying "sprinkle on top" but is it necessary for them to get the nutrients only like this? I'm mostly just curious about it but I'm also wondering if maybe it has a taste that the skinks don't necessarily care for and mixing it in the food would dilute that taste??

Hi again Rixusaku,
You can basically incorporate it into the food any way that works
I think generally you should be okay when its sprinkled on and you can rotate the food until its evenly covered. I've even added calcium to a scrambled egg mix before cooking it for a treat. Really useful for treat foods that may be high in phosphorus.

Re: Question on calcium and vitamin powders
Makes sense. Alright cool, thanks! I haven't thought about adding calcium to any treats/snacks that are high in phosphorous but that sounds like it's a good idea.
