Efficiency in dusting feeders

[kdc5019]

Whether you feed Dubia, crickets, an assortment of worms, or all of the above, what is your preferred method of dusting the feeders with supplements. Seems waste full to just "sprinkle" the supplement on top of the insect/worm and have so much waste in the bottom of a feeder cup (or whatever you use to house the insect/worms when dusting).

Any one have any little tips and/or tricks to minimize waste?

Thanks!

I sprinkle a bit in the cup and then with my hand over the cup slightly shake the cup to make sure the food items are completely covered. My feeding cups also have some extra power left in the bottom.

put a small amount of supplement in plastic container
add bugs
swirl and shake until bugs are coated lightly
put bugs into cage / feeding bowl
reuse any remaining supplement in plastic container the next day

a few years ago when i had lot of reptiles we used a small clear bag think maybe it was like a bag my mom had bought to put sandwiches in.put calcium add bugs shake and recycle the bag every few weeks/month or so same idea as the bin above

This is how I do it as well. I use a deli cup as my dusting container. I have them labelled and use one for plain calcium and one for multivitamin etc.
