BD refuses to eat anything with calcium powder on it

[tfree1368]

So as it says my BD has started this new little habit about three weeks to a month ago. She wont eat anything with calcium powder on it. crickets, supers, silks, and wax worms. tried all of them and she wont eat them if they have any calcium powder on it.

any one have any insight or thoughts on this?

You could try mixing the calcium in with baby food and feeding her that off a spoon (or through a syringe), or mix it with water (or natural fruit juice) and giving it to her via a syringe.

LG used to do that. i started tricking him into it . i would give him one or two without it then sneek one in thats been dusted. you could tell by the look on his face he was displeased but he still ate it. id get his intrest with a couple more regular ones then surprise him again.

that or the baby food idea. they also make spray calcium for veggies but i cant vouch for that...
