Calcium powder problem!

reptilemaster · Apr 20, 2015

Ok, so the calcium powder won't stick to the superworms very well

I tried wetting them to see if that helps, but it doesn't

I'm worried about him not getting enough calcium! So what should I do!
The powder I'm trying to use is Reptocal! Has anyone else tried that?
And has anyone else had this problem?

Supers tend to be a little bit slick. I'd just try dusting them as much as you can and not worry about it too much. A balanced diet will help a lot so if you can get some calcium rich veges into his diet it should help. I like collard and turnip greens as staples for salads because of their calcium content. Does Basil have a favorite?

I don't have any reptocal, but brand might make a difference. I find the repcal and repashy dusts I have stick to them alright. The repashy is more even but I think the repcal might be a little more at first but it falls off faster.

If you are feeding the supers good greens as well that will help. You can look up high calcium gut loads too if your still concerned.

Ok, thanks for the advice!
I do fed him collard greens, although I don't have any right now...
I'll try a different way of dusting the worms, I think I've been shaking them too much in the bag...
