Dusting food

khandof Jan 30, 2007 04:34 PM

I stopped using crickets and I use roaches now and I dust once a week. Rufus is only 5 months old. Are you suppose to dust daily or once a week?

5 month old. My opinion, I still would feed live food 2x a day dusting with Calcium (No Phosphorus, No Vitamin A) at each meal except one where I would substitute a Vitamin Supplement (again no Vitamin A)

What brand of Vitamin and Calcium Dust should I use?

I use the Rep-Cal ultrafine w/D3 for calcium. It has no Phosphorus or Vitamin A which is important. I also use the Rep-Cal Herptivite Vitamin. It uses Beta Carotene instead of Vitamin A.
