Mealworm dusting

[Vandumm]

Alright so I know people have their mealworms in the dish with some of the supplement but I don't think my leos getting enough of it when she goes down on the mealies. She barley takes consumes any of it so I'd appreciate if you let me know on some other good method for dusting mealworms.

I dont exactly understand your post! :main_huh:

Sounds like your calcium suppliment isnt sticking to the mealies?!

Yeah it doesnt stick *to the mealies too well

if you wet them with water just a bit (like spritz them with a spray bottle) the stuff will stick better. i have to do this occasionally because i keep my mealies in the fridge and the stuff dosn't like to stick when they're cold.

What brand are you using?
Some dont stick to mealies so well and you may need to change brands.

Calcium plus sticks to anything, but there are also others.

I dont have much of a problem with Calcium Plus sticking to the mealies -- you do have to shake-and-bake them and I usually leave a little in the dish as well because they like to crawl over the food I leave them and wipe off the dusting.

If I'm dropping them in or trying to hand-feed I dip the worms in water quick and drag them through the powder to make it stick better.

I spray my mealies with a little water because my calci powder doesn't stick at ALL! I'm going to the states this friday so I'm going to buy some good calci powder there. Can someone recommend me a good brand and a place to buy it? I'm going to be in Seattle.
