To much calcium powder

[Sanababit]

Hi, i have been dusting my crickets and worms with calcium without d3 everyday, i also hand feed, the thing is, i coat them with the stuff, not ghost white, but more off and off white, lol, anyways, sometimes my chameleon shoot its tounge and i feel it touch the cricket but is unable to get it to stick, could it be to much powder?

Yes, it can be.
A dry tongue will also cause feeders to not stick to the tongue.

you should not be feeding d3 every day. Maybe twice a week, regular calcium w/o d3 every day.

edit:totally read that wrong.... -_- yes, it might be too much powder on feeders.

If your lightly coating the feeder. Make sure this animal is getting enough water (urates + nice and white).

Thanks for all the responses, i will lightly dust from now on, and for the urates, they are white but a little bit yellow or orange at the tip end, i mist 5 times a day for 30 seconds with and automister
