The easiest way to dust your crickets is to put the calcium powder in a ziploc bag, then put your crickets in there, and then put them in the tank. Just try to shake them out instead of shaking out the excess calcium powder :)

Here is another way to dust the prey: Take a tall deli cup...32 oz size. Place the powder in the cup, add crickets or other feeder, then swirl!

Lightly dust feeders only 2x weekly with a calcium with D3 powder. Check specifics in the Leo Guidelines for 3 different vitamin and calcium options. :)

Choose one of the recommended multivitamin powders too.

Hahah, actually I just switched to that. It's so much easier, you're right! :)

LMAO. Not one of my brighter moments.
I'm just going to quietly slink away now.

Hey Lindsay & Cricket ~

Don't be super concerned about the year old plus original posting date of this thread. The OP may have resolved the issue, but he's still around. kpnortiz last posted on the 27 October 2012 :)!
