Can’t dust

[Hazelthebeardeddragon]

Whenever I try to dust Hazels food with any kind of supplements she won’t eat it. I don’t know why but she refuses. I have calcium with D3, calcium without D3, and a multivitamin. If any are used she may eat one or 2 bugs and that’s all. What could I do to maybe fix this or is not using supplements ok? I have a 40 gallon tank but I am getting a 120 gallon this Christmas, I still have to get something to set it on and hang my tv but yk. I have a reptisun 10.0 T5 24W uvb and a flukers 100W basking bulb.

Ok, she hasn’t had any supplements for a while, should I try today?

How much are you using, can you post a pic of how much you coat the bugs ? Sometimes it it's too heavy they just don't like it.

I don’t have a picture rn but normally I just do a pinch or 2

Do the bugs look like a powdered donut or can you hardly see just a bit of the dust ? And yes you can order liquid calcium from Tracie right away.

July can tell they are dusted but they aren’t dusted like a powdered donut or a funnel cake. Just slightly noticeable

here's tracie's site. we get liquid calcium and vitamins from her. sir henry also refuses anything powdered.

Could also be that some supplements just taste horrible. You can also try sephia powder and just use a little less.

Then they cant move and she won’t eat them.

can anyone help me I can’t ask any questions in the form and I have tried even asking for help and no one even replies to my emails for help.

I am having the same issue with the calcium dust too I have tried just using a pinch and the crickets come out looking like a powdered donut. Then they don’t move and she really
gives me a hard time eating them. I use Flukers cricket calcium which is calcium fortified. Is that enough calcium?
