Dusting crickets

[Suzan]

I dont know if there is another post I couldnt find one. I was wondering if I am giving crickets that are gut loaded and also giving phoenix worm, plus 5 different greens do I also have to dust the crickets more with ca?
I am giving pettets, however, little zig wont eat them. He is 4.5 mo old and wt is about 85gm. here is a pic. Sorry pic so big of .

If you are giving a good amount of PW's each day, then I would cut down dusting the crickets to 3 times a week as opposed to the 5 times a week you normally would with a young dragon.

You should lightly dust the crickets each time you feed. If your bearded is an adult, you can skip dusting every other time, but the balance of phosphorus to calcium in crickets is so skewed towards too much phosphorus you should always dust regularly. For baby beardies, I recommend dusting every time you feed.

As you know, everyone always has their own opinions on how often dusting should take place - this is just what I recommend based on my experience here in the stores.
