I have a 2:0 calcium/phos. supplement for carnivourous reptiles. I was wondering if I should dust gut loaded crickets with this before I feed them. I know my iguanas can't process the 2:1 cal/phos. without uva/uvb lights, and I read that cresteds do not need the uva/b lights, and I was wondering if they can still process the extra calcium without the light. I also feed them CGD(no baby food, mixed as the directions say) but my males like the crickets more and I want to make sure they get enough usuable calcium. Thanks in advance -Joe
