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.
