When to start dusting my babies feeders?

[Vmag86]

So I have a total of 17 Hatchlings ranging from 1week to 2.5weeks old. I have been feeding them the larger species of flightless fruit flies and pinhead crickets. Any ways, when do I start dusting their feeders and providing them with supplements? Also, if anyone has had good results with certain calcium/supplements for their babies in the past, please let me know what types you would suggest. Thanks all

Right away is when you can start and should start dusting.

Very light dusting. Dusting actually for the most part helps keep fruit flies from climbing too!

I personally use 1/8" (same size as the bigger fruit flies) crickets right off as they can eat them easily and with 17 babies, they will devour them before the crickets get too big.

I use plain calcium every feeding and vitamin d3/multi-vitamin every 2 weeks. I use RepCal with d3 / Herptivite 50/50 mix.
