Vitamin supplements

[Lonise]

How Often should I be dusting the crickets with the vitamin powder?

 

[volleyball21]

I dust mine every time or sometimes every other time with regular vitamin powder. However you should make sure that you dust with the calcium with D3 once or twice a month. All other times you dust your crickets should be vitamin powder without d3.

For what species? A veiled?

Are we talking about a multivitamin? A multivitamin like Herptivite can be used a small number of times a month, about 2-3. The same with any calcium with vitamin D3, it should be used very sparingly.

If we're talking about a plain calcium with no vitamins added then yes, you can use that at every feeding or so.

Vitamins

I have a juvenile Senegal female. I use the Flukers liquid vitamins in her water. I have Rep Cl calcium with vitamin D powder. So i should be dusting every time? She eat about 6-7 crickets every day.

Don't do d3 every day, 2x a month is enough. Normal calcium without d3 can be used every feeding and multivitamin 2x monthly

I wouldn't use any vitamins in her water, you wouldn't want anything like that to get in her eyes, for example.

It's better to buy the separate supplements, at least a PLAIN calcium (no vitamins at all, just calcium mineral) and then a multivitamin powder. You already have the calcium with D3, so you can use that about twice a month.

The PLAIN calcium is the supplement you can use at every feeding, but the other two are best is used more sparingly (about twice a month, each.)

Volleyball21...there's a difference between vitamin and calcium powders. I hope you are not dusting at every feeding with vitamin powder.
