Cricket question

[NYRkorey]

Quick question since I have a Arcadia 13% D3 UVB I was told to get calcium without D3 so I don’t give him to much D3. My question is should I dust the crickets every meal?

Also with water I do not plan on putting a water bowl in his tank so misting him/bathing him everyday be sufficient?

Many people just mist/bathe bearded dragons because they usually don't drink standing water.

An Arcadia T5 at appropriate distance (about 12'') should provide sufficient UVB for D3 synthesis so a plain calcium is fine. I dust every bug meal with a light even coat of calcium. There is no need to add supplement to salads/veges. Fresh food should provide most needed hydration but dripping water on their nose so they can lick it up is a good way to offer extra if they want it.
