Dusted feeder question

[spacecats1001]

Hello-

As a new owner can someone with proper cham experience post a photo of the amount they use to dust any supplement on feeders? Maybe even a photo of actual feeders dusted? I have searched and found nothing (actually found an old thread but the photos were no longer working) and the descriptions of what to do seem to vary. I am particularly concerned about how much to be dusting when it comes to D3, minerals and vitamins since overdoing those can be harmful.

What species of chameleon?

I have a Veiled and my schedule is the generic you'll see here on the forums.

Dust Cal w/o D3 every feeding
Dust Cal w/ D3 once per month or every other week
Dust Multivitamin once per month or every other week alternating with the D3.

For dusting I put my feeders (usually crickets) in a clean pill bottle then put barely a pinch of supplement in the bottle. I gently swirl the pill bottle to coat the feeders in the dust. Key is to lightly coat them but dont turn them completely ghost white with the supplement. I can upload a photo tonight when I get home from work and do the evening feeding for my chameleon.
