Calcium/multivite taste?

I understand that beardies need multivites to stay as healthy as possible, but do they like the taste or no? I cant imagine it tastes any good. I also had somebody tell me that if you leave a washed gatorade bottle cap full of it in their tank, that they know when they need to eat some. Is this true? If so, how do beardies know thats its calcium or multivites?

no, I wouldn’t leave a bottle full of vitamins in their tank, that will be a health risk. feed according to instructions. Powdered calcium and vitamins are easier to feed to your dragon, just coat the crickets. Pills or granules are a little harder. Some beardies may not be attracted to vits at all

U know. Im not sure. But leaving calcium powder is safe to do. U can even use calcium sand as a substrate for ur dragons cage.

A multivitamin, I wouldnt leave in
