Meleys does not like calcium powder

[mshaverly]

Meleys is 3.5 months old and not wanting to eat dubia roaches dusted with calcium/calcium w/D3 powder. I ordered Zilla brand SPRAY calcium but it does not contain D3. She will, however, eat silk worms and hornworms dusted in powder. I know I have to be careful with overfeeding hornworms but what about silkworms? Is there another worm I could feed her at this age? She weighs 46.2 grams. Thank you.

I also ordered the Zilla spray multi-vet. because she doesn't like that powder either. Is that spray ok?

Silkworms can be a staple.

So do any of you have ideas on how to get calcium to her? She hates the powder of all the supplements; calcium, vitamins, probiotic.

You can get liquids but it goes rancid pretty quickly. The liquid multivitamins taste horrible from the start to.
Ruby hates the powder also, so with her bugs I don't shake them up, I just let them run through the powder so it's on the bottom where she can't see it. It works about 50/50 with her.
