I read that dusting every meal can cause calc bump formations in and on the bones

Pseudo science

The dust I get has d3 in it.

For adults it’s completely safe

It’s only worrisome for babies

Since they eat every day

But the food I give the crickets has calc in it. I use the gel and the cubes

That’s okay but if you can I’d recommend feeding the crickets carrots and collared greens

She was way under weight when I got her

Yeah I congratulate you for helping her

My aunt and uncle won't let that happen. Smell and bugs

The reason I suggest carrots is they are both healthy for the insects and boost the color

Or tour abimals

Animals*

You both have very pretty lizards

Your*

Oh wait

Do you dust with multivitamins?

The brown dust?

I personally use that once a month and then use the calcium 4 times a month

No I give multi food to the crickets

yeah that’s okay but dusting is better

She eats about every 3 days

Ah

Then if you wanted you could do every 3rd feeding

You dust with

Just to prevent any possible mbd

Since my aunt and uncle pay for the supplies, I can only ask for so much

Mbd is a greater threat than overdose

Ahh

I get you

One more suggestion

She does love her worms though

I wouldn’t use pure sand as a substrate

It’s very loose and easily swallowed by accident

When chasing a cricket

It’s a very gradual buildup

That can cause impaction

If you wanted you could do a sand mix

Sand/organic top soil sand/ ecoearth
