Dusting crickets

[Firesilverblade]

I dusted 5 crickets with calcium and dusted 5 more with vitamins on the same day is that ok for today. I read it shouldn't be done on the same day after I did this.

Hi, you actually shouldn't use both supplements on the same day. If you can let us know how old your beardie is, we can help you with the right dusting schedule.

My beardie is 9 inches long so I would put it around 2 to 3 months old.

Just saw your response.

Since your beardie is so young, you should dust all the feeders he can eat in about 10 to 15 minutes on one feeding a day for 5 days, then dust with vitamins on one feeding a day for the other 2 days.

At his/her age, it would be a good idea to be sure to offer 2 to 3 feedings of bugs a day. Only 10 crickets a day isn't enough as he needs lots of protein to help him grow rapidly.

Hope that helps.
