[QUOTE="tropicalsoul, post: 2020413, member: 117711"] Jumping into this thread to ask for a bit of elaboration on vitamin and calcium dusting. I buy crickets about once a week. They are fed a high calcium cricket food and I dust them with Herptivite with beta carotene when I get them home. Do I need to repeat the dusting during the week as well or does that first dusting stay on the crickets? I'm afraid to give my 4 month old too much vitamins. As for D3, I have read in multiple places that a good UBV light should be adequate and supplementation isn't needed. I have a Reptisun Desert T5 10.0 tube bulb and fixture that runs almost the length of the viv. The bulb will be rotated after three months and replaced after 6 months. Dusty eats BSFL in the mornings and crickets once or twice during the day in addition to the escapees in his viv that he eats before the day is over; he's not the mighty hunter I thought he'd be and would rather his food come to him, LOL. I do my best to keep escapees to a minimum because I know they can bite him. He also gets salad every morning with appropriate greens and veggies, and once in a while he gets treats like blueberries and other goodies that are approved for dragons. He's very good about eating his salad (some days more than others). He's also very good at kicking it all over the viv (which the escaped crickets also love), but he eats a good amount of it, so I'm happy. I've searched high and low for answers to this question regarding when and how often to dust crickets but I've not seen anything specific. I'm hoping you can help me. TIA [/QUOTE]
