Gutload + Dust Crickets Too Much?

[AGTrauger]

I have just made a purchase from Ghann's Cricket Farm of crix for my new baby Beardie. If I gutload these crickets with Ghann's hi-calcium feed plus Fluker's Orange calcium/vitamins food do I still need to dust them with calcium/herptivite or would that be overkill? I asked Ghann's and they thought it might be too much but to ask around with others more informed to be sure. Anybody that can help it would be greatly appreciated as I've :book:-ied but can't find this information. I'd hate to give her too much or not enough :help:

Yes, you can still dust just before feeding with no ill effects

yeah it's a lot easier to give not enough than it is to give too much.

if you're using MVB (mercury vapor bulb) lighting, then without D3. If you're using other sources of UVB (like flourescent tubes) then get calcium WITH the D3

If you feed your crickets calcium they will die off faster, because the calcium prevents them from molting. They then die off faster than you can feed.
