The cultures last a long time, too, sometimes as long as a year before you have to renew them. I've also fed them with a sprinkling of brown rice and a scatter of yeast occasionally. If you also put in slabs of charcoal (not the briquettes that have been treated with fire starter, of course)they will swarm over these and you can just pick one up and blow them into a tank, or put the whole piece in for the frogs to gather around like a dining table. Of course it's impossible to dust them, and although they do contain more calcium than fruit flies and crickets, you'll still need to feed something else that's dustable for D3 in particular.
