Dusting feeders for babies.

[jannb]

At what age should I start dusting the feeders for the babies? What do you recommend that I dust with and how often?

I would say ASAP they need all the extra vitamins when they are young

I've read that dusting in very young babies can cause edema. They are eating fruit flies and well gutloaded pinhead crickets. They even went outside today for about 45 minutes of natural sunshine.

Did you happen to get any pics? lol

As for supplements im not quite sure. I guess you can you use the same supplements you use on Luie and Camille but the schedule will be different.

I have always dusted hatchlings' insects with phos.-free calcium from the beginning...insects "always" have a poor ratio of calcium to phos....the insects' calcium to phos. ratio doesn't start at a particular hatchling age.

Thanks Lynda. I will lightly dust the pinheads starting in the morning.
