I was looking at my local pet store and I seen "gut load Zilla Cricket drink with calcium". I was wondering if I bought this would I still need to dust my crickets with calcium ?

Yes, those particular products do not have enough nutrients or calcium to replace dusting. Its not even really enough to count as a good food or gutload.

Gutloading / insect food = I use repcal adult beardie pellets (dry straight from the bottle) , and chunks of fresh carrot. A few days before I use the bugs (crickets) I add fresh buk or puk choi greens.
I still dust my crickets.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
