Baby beardies (gutloaded or calcium [d3] dusted) crickets

[Mizoji]

So I'm really confused and don't have any solid answers to if I should give a baby beardie gutloaded or calcium d3 dusted crickets. I'm getting a baby beardie in a month and I want to care for him properly.

Gutloading just means that the insects have been fed, making them more nutritious. The dusting is something that needs done alongside the gutloading to make sure they get the calcium and vitamin levels they need to thrive, that they wouldn't normally get in captivity.

Yes it's always best to gutload your feeders the same thing you would feed your dragon, I will often add some of the supplements into the feeder foods...
In the link below several of our comments we have put together a ton of info to help people, we have included a supplement guide to help..

Gutload AND dust. You only need to dust one meal a day though.
