Vitamins / Calcium

[joeandsoph]

Another foodie question!!

We currently dust the crickets / locusts with calcium, but how often should we actually do it. Don't want her getting too much and also don't want her not having enough.

We also have reptile minerals but not sure whether we should be using this?

Just wondering as some of the feeders have more calcium in than others etc. so how do we know how often to dust?

Eeek help.

How old is your cham? That will determine how many times a week you need to dust.

16 weeks =D

Same age as mine then! (Oh yeah, I remeber now, silly me!) I talk to so many people on here i get confused!

Currently I am dusting the morning feed with plain calcium every day Mon to Sat then on Sundays I dust with Nutrabol (multi vit). If I am doing this wrong then I hope someone will point me in the right direction also! You only need to dust the feeders very lightly - not turn them onto ghosts, lol! I put the feeders in a sandwich bag with a tiny pinch (tiny bit on the tip of a spoon) of supplement powder and give it a shake.

Ah well we dust the first few then give a few with out, so I'm kind of on the right track I guess. Have you found out if Amy is an Amos yet? How big is he/she?
