When dusting I put my powder in a small plastic tub an put the feeders in their an shake, you want enought so they have little specs on( not coming out like goasts) an gut loading look up sandrachameleon she has amazing blogs on gutloading but for now carrot peel and dark leafy greens are good to put in there for your feeders to munch on

For gut loading, the cricket food/water for my crickets says its full of vitamins ans shit and says its "gut loading". Does that take care of my gut loading?

The pre-made gutloads are not regarded as sufficient.

Fresh fruits and veggies will do much more to make the feeders nutritious and they'll provide a balance of nutrients for your cham.
