I got my t-rex dragon dust at petco, but you can buy them online @ reptiledirect.com.
There are 3 kinds. Insect Balancing Formula for dusting crickets, Veggie Growth Formula for dusting salads for juvenile dragons, and Veggie Maintenence Formula for dusting salads for adults. Be aware the some people use this stuff and their dragon's do wonderfully, and some are experiencing health issues that may or may not be related to the dust. One thing very important to understand is that you must stop all other supplimentation. The Dragon Dust provides all the calcium and vitamins they need, and to continue with additional supps can result in oversupplimentation and sometimes death. Just FYI.
As for housing, the general rule of thumb I believe is 6 square feet of ground space for one dragon, and two more for each additional dragon. HOWEVER, it is not advised to house more than one dragon in a single enclosure unless you are positive they are both females and will get along. Two males will fight and possibly injure or kill each other. A male and a female will constantly breed causing major stress for the female and a lot of responsibility for you raising and placing dozens if not hundreds of baby dragons in new homes. As for two females, sometimes they get along fine, and sometimes one will dominate another causing stress and possibly injuries. It is a risk you pose to your dragons housing them together. Many people strongly recommend seperate enclosures no matter what sex you end up with. Dragon's are perfectly happy by themselves.
Good luck whatever you decide.
