    Dusting crickets

    I'm getting a pair of juvie/baby collared lizards (just emailed about to ask about age) and was wondering how often do you dust the crickets while feeding? I was thinking to dust them in Calcium w/ vitamin D3 four-five times a week and then once with multivitamins? Or is just the calcium with D3 enough and the multivitamins enough? Thanks!

    Not sure if it helps you or not, but for my bearded dragons, I feed twice a day. I try to dust one of those feedings, or at least 5 meals a week.

    Also, I'll add, you may want to check in to dubia roaches for your lizards. They are better than crickets in a lot of ways, and that's all I feed now. Worth looking into.

    I'll def. be getting into dubias after I move into my new apartment! Dubias still need to be dusted right?

    Thanks!

    I do crickets, Dubias and a pinky once a month. Excellent fat content in the pinky for them!
