you should be supplementing your crickets, yes. we use Minerall Indoor, it is calcium and minerals.

I have tested both Rep-cal and minerall, and I used indoor ON outdoor lizards WITHOUT a single problem of any sort. Both brands seem to work equally, or at least I could not see any difference.

I normally mix a calicum suppliment with a vitamin suppliment, aprox 50/50. Again, with only benefits and no drawbacks. Cheers

I dust my crickets on every feeding with mineral. I lost 2 Kimmies because they did not get enough calcium in the hot summer months and there spines collapsed. Every cricket I feed looks like Tony Montana had them running across his desk.
