refuses to eat dusted crickets

[Elisa245]

My 6 month old has completely stopped eating dusted crickets. He eats a ton of crickets when they arent dusted. I dust the salad everyday now because he wont he eat the dusted crickets. I just don’t know what to do anymore. He needs his calcium. Any recommendations?

What kind of powder are you using? Might be worth trying a different brand to see if that makes a difference. I use Repashy and it's good stuff. No complaints from the Dragon.

I am using ReptiCalcium with D3 by zoomed.

 

[CooperDragon]

I've used that before as well but wound up preferring Repashy because it wasn't quite as chalky and bright white. Someone else may have further thoughts on it but I'd say try changing it up a bit and see what works.

Hmmmm aright. Im going to have to look for that. Thanks for the advice!

Make sure you are feeding the crickets high calcium gut load or veggies, to help offset the lack of dusting.

I'd second trying another dust as well.
