How often should I be using these supplements? My little guy/gal is going on 4 months old and I am afraid he has become addicted to both as he doesn't seem to want to eat his Dubai's or crickets unless I dust them first. Everything I have read seems to conflict and I am curious to get some veteran owners opinions. I use Rep-Cal Herptivite Multivitamin and Rep-Cal Calcium with Vitamin D3 (phosphorus free).
He will eat 15-20 3/4 sized dubais/crickets a feeding and I am concerned he could be eating to much of the supplements now that his appetite has really kicked into gear. I use Dubai's as his staple but he also gets nutri-grubs, horn worms, medium super worms, and wax worms as occasional treats between regular feedings. As far as greens go he has been really picky but his favorite is collard greens and bell peppers. I have not withheld food to get him to eat more greens because he is still really young.
He is so cute though and I've started hand feeding him to gain trust but now if I offer him a bug without some form of powder on it I swear he looks up at me like "What the #*#*# is this"? He will even lick the dust off my fingers to get his fix.
Should I be concerned?
