Dusting placebo?

[dectr6]

I have a 5 month old male veiled that only likes white food. It's not a problem since a lot of his food is dusted and has a whitish color. I would like to feed him food with no dust on it as I don't want him to get over suplemented. Does anyone know of something I can dust his feeders with that won't harm him? Flour maybe? At his age he is eating a ton of food. Eats approx 20 large crix or 40 large bot flies,10-12 silkies which isn't a problem because their already white. He won't touch blue or green hornworms unless their dusted. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. David

Without qualifying my opinion, I would expect that flour would be OK. I do feed other grains as gutload to my crix, so wheat flour shouldn't hurt.

It makes sense to me, first chameleon I've ever had that only eats white food, weird. Thanks for the input. David
