calcium with D3 dusted once daily on the crickets, and the herptivite dusted once weekly for one feeding on the crickets, hope that this helps some

nope,so long as you dust his crickets, its jsut fine, when he becomes an adult and is eating his greens well and his diet consists mainly of them then you might want to start dusting greens instead of prey items, but for now, just the crickets will do just fine. As for the bearded dragon bites, i have never used those, maybe someone else has some more info for you
