Long term I have had rotten luck with Mineral I with D3 in Uros. Every
single baby and adult has developed hypocalcemia on that stuff, with
out without UV. I would wait for Neil to post his regimen before
purchasing any vitamin supplement.

So how should I give it to her?
Is this the minerall your talking about?
Just make sure you mist her frequently and
get to a vet ASAP to get those parasites taken care of. I've found
that pinworms and hookworms tend to be the most common. Electrolytes
aid in reversing dehydration promptly...they facilitate the absorption
of water. It's what makes gatorade so good at hydrating you quickly.
I like to use Pedialyte which is a human baby product which is used to
combat dehydration in children, especially during bouts of diarrhea.
If she's outwardly healthy now, as long as
you get her dewormed soon you should have no problems. If she's
younger you'll also want to be sure to use a really good mineral
suppliment...I like Minerall I for mine.
Good luck!!
She looks very healthy and I am keeping humidity and temp at
consistant levels. I also have an appointment for parasites. So
I hope she'll be ok.
I keep several fimbriatus and to be be honest on a scale of
1-10 (10 being most difficult) I think U fimbriatus is a 7 or 8, one of
the hardest to keep next to phants IMO.
Fimbriatus are much more sensitive to temperature &
humidity fluctuations than henkeli. The biggest problem with them I
think, is that they don't take the importation process to well and
suffer greatly from dehydration & internal parasites. The most
important thing about keeping fimbriatus is humidity/hydration...make
sure that big paddle tail is nice and flat, if it's curled like a paper
towel then you will need to get some electrolytes in there fast!
If your animal is already established and in good shape then
it's prety easy to keep them that way as long as you keep the right
temp & humidity ranges...CB animals are of course much more hardy
but unfortuantely they are also much less common.
Hope this helps...somewhat.
