Dusting Crickets and Dead Crickets

Status
Not open for further replies.
I was wondering about dusting my crickets. How often should I dust my crickets with calcium and if it is okay to feed my bearded dragon dead crickets that died in their little enclosure? He is around 3 months old as well. Also, could someone direct me to a trustworthy website to get bulk crickets that is cheap?

Do NOT feed dead crickets! They decay fast and, could make your dragon sick.

Okay, that's good to know! Ive only been feeding him live. So like canned would be okay?

No, I wouldn't feed canned unless it's an emergency. Live is always best. There are a TON of websites that offer crickets in bulk. Try eBay, or one of these websites:

5 days a week, 1 feeding per day, 2 days vitamins

2 days multivitamins? Im guessing the pellets? Cause I got the calcium dust.

No, pellets are junk. Multivitamins are also a powder, just like the calcium

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
