"The other thing that's important when feeding your leopard gecko is to give them the proper supplements. What you're going to do with your crickets, is you're going to do what's called dusting them. So, you're going to buy a calcium dust and you're going to buy a vitamin dust. OK? Just, uh, you can get those in any pet store, any reptile store, or you can buy them online, as well. And what that is, is just a, let me get it open here. It's just a white dust, OK? Powdered minerals basically, and you're going to take your cricket bag, with your crickets in it, and you're going to just powder, just tap a little bit of that powder in, just a little bit, not a lot. You don't want to go crazy. OK? And then you're going to shake them. And, as you can see, that's coated those crickets nice and good in that powder. Now those crickets are nice and healthy for him. It's going to give him that extra boost of calcium or vitamins. As a baby, leopard gecko, you're going to want to get, be powdering these crickets, probably two times a week. Two to three times a week. And the vitamins, once, one or two times a week. It doesn't need to be every day, but, this is an important part of keeping your leopard gecko happy, and healthy, so, make sure you're doing that, as well."
