Eva will not eat D3 dusted Crickets

[JohnDoe]

So Eva has started this thing where she will not eat D3 dusted crickets. it has happened twice now. they are very lightly dusted so i dont know why she will not eat them any ideas. She will eat regular custed crickets but no D3. Anybody know or have ideas

How does she know the difference between D3 dusted and plain calcium dusted crickets? Does she eat one and stop? Or what?

 

[JohnDoe]

Actually yes she does. She will shoot the Cal D3 dusted one and eat one then will not eat any of the other ones.

With the regular Cal n/D3 she will eat everything
With the multiVit she will eat all of them too

Hmm, I wouldn't have thought there would be any noticeable taste difference at all, unless you're using two completely different brands for the calcium and calcium w/d3. Try dusting the crickets with a half and half mix of w/D3 and n/D3.

I've actually had a couple reptiles who wouldn't eat anything but dusted insects!

How old is the supplement that contains the D3? (meaning, when does it expire, not just how long you have had it)
what brand?

 

[JohnDoe]

Rep-Cal Calcium with D3 Exp 09/2014 i have had it since Dec2012.

hm. Well Ive got no idea then.
Do you know anyone local to you with supplements that you could get a little of theirs from, try it. That way you could determine if the problem is your particular container, or something else.
