I have an approximately 3 month old beardie, Stitch. I couldnt deal with crickets (too jumpy for me) so I am currently feeding him calci worms and dubias every feeding. My question is, as he eats quite a lot of calci worms, do I still have to dust the dubias with calci dust? And he gets fed twice a day, do I have to dust both feedings. I am currently following the bearded dragon cheat sheet for dusting with the calci dust and multi vits.

Also, his urate recently has had a bit of yellow at the end, but is wetish and there is enoigh of it. I believe I read somewhere that that could be a sign of too many supplements, which is one of the reasons I thought I'd ask about dusting.

Thanks!

You don't need to dust the calci worms but I would keep dusting the dubias. Just a nice light even coat will do. I put them in a yogurt cup and sprinkle some supplement and shake so there is an even coat then offer the bugs. I do that for each feeding of dubias to ensure they have a good amount of calcium. I offer the multivitamin instead of calcium maybe one day per week.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
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
