Reptile Cricket Calcium Powder Mixer

This is really a great tool for anyone who has a reptile that needs calcium supplements. I'll admit that it is kind of pricey for what it is. But it is pretty durable and definitely serves its purpose. Plus it claims to save on wasted calcium powder up to 73% which is a accurate. With that being said I feel it has paid for itself by saving me from wasting excess supplement powder. It is very easy to use. I put only a small amount of calcium powder in the bottom chamber, add the crickets (or other insect food), shake them up, let the excess powder fall back into the bottom chamber, lock the bottom closed, then finally open the top and pour out the dusted insects. Definitely beats shaking up powder and crickets in a plastic bag. I find that it does leak the tiniest amount of powder out of the top while shaking up the insects, but it's so minimal that it's barely noticeable. I personally don't find any real need to clean this duster, but if I had to, it all opens up for easy cleaning. I just leave the left over powder in the bottom chamber for the next use. Pro tip: for those who have reptiles that need calcium plus D3, just buy 2 of these. Since my chameleon only needs D3 about twice a week, I keep a 2nd shaker labeled with D3 and the 1st unlabeled shaker has the calcium without D3. Just makes keeping track so much easier, especially if you have kids or friends who want to help feed your reptile.

How did I not know this existed until now 😭😭😭 I own a leopard gecko and dunking her meals in calcium all the time gets messy, come on. If you're here you know what I mean. I've always thought there was no solution but there is?! Advertised for crickets however this works perfect for all types of feeders, imo. Have tried with mealworms, dubia roaches, and virtually any other classic leopard gecko feeder you can think of. None have been able to escape. I'm a huge fan of this specifically because the calcium stays in a seperate compartment from the feeders, only coming through from small holes which you can lock and unlock depending on when you're shaking. So when critters aren't in there preparing to die, the calcium or whatever other dust you'd use for your buddy is still completely clean and in a different space. Meaning you can reuse the dust multiple times, which is huge for me. The tube is BIG. I'd be able to fit at least 50 crickets in there of a smaller size, maybe 30 of larger and pfft probably 100 mealworms. And the compartment for the calcium is a WONDERFUL size too. Was genuinely surprised in a great way. I've only had it for a bit but I can tell this thing is heavy duty. I'd be shocked if it broke, I'd think someone must've taken a hammer to it tbh. Love the design. Doesn't smell plastic-y at all which is great for my scent-sensitive gal, as I feed her out of the cup sometimes; which is DETACHABLE I KNOW. It's great. Just all around awesome. You should get it <3

So easy to use! Easy to clean as well, this vitamin duster is great for feeding your lizard, without handling the bugs. It took my 11 year old a hot minute to get the hang of the turning and releasing the powder below after dusting, but it’s been a couple weeks and it has held up well and he doesn’t need any help at all. The price was better than the local big pet store. Powder doesn’t get everywhere and the windows are pretty seamless. No escaped bugs! The plastic is clean and clear and there was no off-gassing which always concerns me. No scent at all.

This is wonderful! I already had one that I got for free with other reptile supplies. I use it for my bearded dragon. I needed another one for my leopard gecko. 8 don't want them sharing supplies. This is lightweight and easy to use. I like that it opens multiple ways. I have dusted dubia roaches, crickets, mealworms, super worms, and wax worms. I haven't had any problems. Hannibal gets excited when he sees me pick this up.

This does what it needs to do but after a couple of months using i found it was easier to just get a escape proof feed dish and keep some calcium in it and just shake it side to side to coat them. This works great but just seems to be an overly complicated way of coating roaches.

Zoo med has great products to begin with, so when I saw this I immediately purchased it! It functions like it should, nothing leaks out & its super easy to put together, use & clean! Comes in handy when I feed my 4 reptiles i can throw their bugs in, unlock the calcium chamber & shake it all together! Super nifty & comes.in handy!

I love this for coating the insects for my bearded dragon. It coats them just enough but not to much.

Works exactly as advertised and is so much easier and cleaner than other methods of dusting crickets. Now my 10 year old son is able to feed his frogs by himself!
