Everyone (and by everyone I mean only people that have good things to add to this topic - no battle, just discussion) =;-> (P.S. Also follows with all my future posts). If you don't have something positive to add to this thread, move to the next.
Ok, with that being said I will be refering a lot to the redfoots.com care recommendations because that is what I'm doing for my guy/girl, I just need clarification on a few things...You know, to understand the reasoning.

Calcium: I'm wonder how hatchlings use the calcium in the food without vit D exposure until 6 months old before they ever get any Vit D in protein fed later? Isn't it supposed to be unusable without D?
Protein: Why are we not feeding protein until 6 months of age?
Supplements: Why do we not begin supplementing until 6 months of age?
6 months of age appears to be quite a huge landmark and I'm just trying to make sense of it. I'm not knocking ANY decisions, just asking questions. I assume it's because they must spend most of their time in hiding and not eating any protein until approx. that time.
