Charlie needs advice

[skully23]

Weeks ago..I don't even know how long ago..but Charlie keeps having white crust around his nose.
People say its over supplementing and/or salt that veileds naturally do.

I tested the over supplementing fact..I took him off all the supplements besides the weekend vitamins or C w/D3. But thats only one day out of a whole week and he still gets the white stuff. When I do dust on the one weekend day..I don't think he even gets much of it because the crickets are still there and a few gone.

The crickets are gutload with greens (kale, collard, mustard, romaine..depending)..and sometimes carrots or apples and..they get dandelion leaves at least every time they run out. Their dry food is some I dehydrated and made myself until I can buy some. It contains..carrots, greens, dandelion leaves, the baby oatmeal stuff, cornflakes...and other things mentioned to me. He drinks alot..after mistings and in the morning.

So can anyone give me advice on this?

Some chams can be sensitive to supplements.
Dust lighter and skip a day or two each week.
Replace the D3 and vitamins with plain calcium, and just use them once a month.
You are gutloading well, so no need to go overboard on the supplements.

My normal schedule is calcium with no D3 everyday of the week and I skip Saturday and on Sunday I either give vitamins or Calcium with D3.

But I don't heavy dust and I haven't been dusting. Only Sunday.

I will try calcium w/o D3 on Mondays, wensdays, and fridays. Saturday nothing and Sunday vitamin or Calcium with D3 depending what I did the last Sunday...That good idea?

Yes, it is a good idea.
If it still happens, you might have to cut back even more.
But this sounds like a good start.

The white deposit might be caused by not enough water too.
