Am I feeding/dusting correctly, or do I need to adjust anything?

Herptivite
Calcium w/D3
plain Calcium

all 3 are Rep-Cal brand.

I dust with Herp & calcium w/D3 every feeding, since I leave a tiny dish of plain calcium inside the tank which I never see touched anyway.

I have been feeding mealworms and/or superworms in a dish together, crickets every other day and the treat of wax worms. I did put wax worms in the same dish as the mealworms, but the mealworms attacked and ate the wax's to death so not doing that again.

I have yet to get dubia roaches. Just crickets and various worms so far.

My leos are new juvies.

Repcal's brand of calcium with D3 contains a large amount of D3 so I would cut back on dusting with that to 3 times a week, if you feed every day. Too much D3 is almost as bad as too little, it can cause reverse MBD. I would do the multivitamins twice a week instead of every feeding.

I'd recommend exactly as Jess said.

Alright, I shall do that. What I forgot to add is the gut loading diet I feed the crickets is, "Mazuri: Better Bug". Is that one pretty good? I leave that and water in with the cricket pen, in VERY miniature dishes.

If it is nutritionally complete and has a variety of vitamins and minerals then you could cut down to 2 weekly dustings of calcium and once a week with the multivitamin.

You can always add veggies and fruits to the insects diets as well.
