Can you give me a plan to supplement her food correctly. I have been giving crickets dusted calcium w/out d3 several days and then switch to dusting with multivitamins for 2 days then go back to calcium w/out d3.

Is is necessary to add liquid calcium? She would not like us putting that in her mouth, but if whe needs it i will.

I ordered silk worms, butter worms and hornworms to give her more variety. They have not arrived yet. How often should i give her these with her crickets?

Advice is greatly appreciated. We love her and want to do it all right for her.
 
Most here dust with calcium without d3 at every feeding for a female, calcium with d3 twice a month and a multi vitamin once or twice a month. Adding liquid calcium for a female is an excelent idea. Just put a couple of drops on a worm and then feed her the worm. It's recommended to feed an adult female every 2 to 3 days. At each feeding you could give her a couple of worms and a few crickets. How are you gut loading the feeders?
 
Gut load with commercial powder food with variety of greens, fruits, shredded carrots. Just bought some silk worms, horn worms and butter worms to give more variety. She only took 2 silk worms and turned her nose up to a horn worm. Maybe too much new for one day.
