i had a female jacksons and the thing i remember most is that they hardly need any supplements do to them being montane and have problems when over supplementing
honestly i suggest dusting crix with plain calcium 3-4 times a week
and calcium with d3 2x a month
you dont need hertivite IMHO
with good gutloading you should be fine
jacksons do not eat that much not like panthers or veileds
young ones maybe 5-10 crix everyday or even every other day
and as adults 4-8 large crix every other day or even every other two days

Thanx ace! Do you think herptivite once every other month be beneficial at all? And I started a different thread on this but haven't gotten any replies back, but there is regular and montane mix cricket crack so would montane be ok for crickets that a veiled would eat or not the right or as "concentrated" amounts of nutrients? Or sould I just have two separate containers for feeders with montane and regular crack?

hmm well overall i think that is your choice
overall i think it wouldnt be "bad" if you use regular crack than montane crack
you would have to talk to Chad from tiki tiki or Steve "SsimsswisS" a forum member that can better explain the differences and benefits from the montane and regular cricket crack
you can use herptivite but very scarcley in my opinion

Most people say that Jackson's don't need as much calcium as others, but I still lightly dust all my crickets at every feeding, which is every other day now that he is about 11 months and almost full grown, I don't dust worms though because i use them mostly as treats and that might be over-supplementing a bit. Use calcium w/o D3 at every feeding and a calcium with D3 and multivitamin one day, like Friday, every other week(switching between the 2) I have an 18x18x36 enclosure for him and it definitely looks like enough space so you don't really need to go bigger. Also, Jackson's seem to love any feeder that flies/ moves around a lot and keep humidity about 60-80. Other than that, enjoy! They are amazing creatures
