Tiberius is being rather finicky with food lately. The other day, I dusted his veggies with calcium powder and he just looked at me like "...what is this?" and didn't touch it.
I fed him the next day, but didn't put any powder on it and he started digging in and ate the whole bowl!
Is there a spray type of calcium I can put on his veggies and crickets? He wont touch anything with the powder on it ;A;
I had this issue with mine also. I never gave up though. I just tricked them. At first I would only put a little. Then I would put a normal amount sprinkled on their salads, and turn the leaves over so they could actually see the calcium [ or at least it wasn't obvious]. I also would take their favorite salad foods, and sprinkle it on and give it to them. If they really want their fav. foods they'll learn to eat it dusted. Just keep it up and they'll come around and get used to it. Mine now eat their dusted salads no problem.

The spray that mostlyharmlessnj posted is what I use (along with the vitamin version) for my beardie Loki. He actually doesn't mind the powder at all, but I find the spray much cleaner than the powder.
