seems like a waste of money actually, to buy a vitamine mix for your crickets when you can just sprinkle the multi vitamine you use to dust the crickets into their dry food or greens. I mixed my own cricket gutload from a recipeI found on Borderview dragons website. Part of the incredients is a teaspoon or so of multi vitamines. This recipe makes alot of dry gutload for crickets, over 4 cups worth which lasts a really long time.

I typically use this and the same mixed greens my dragon gets to feed the crickets as well as some sliced orange, carrot or potato for moisture.

Now, I don't keep crickets at all, and use silkworms. So much easier to keep than crickets.

I use the the product you are taling about and several of the other products in that line of supps. I don't use the gutload for it's intended purpose however. I use it for my leopard geckos. I put it in the bottom of the feeding dish so that the mealies feed on it and the geckos get a mouthful when going for food. For dragons you are better of buying the BD insect dust that t-rex puts out, and sticking with a basic gutload.
good luck
