Do you know which supplements to use and when?
🦎 Let's break it down... 🦎
You will need 2 kinds of supplements.
First is a calcium without D3 (this can be mixed with bee pollen if you have it , not necessary) lightly dusted on insect feeders every feeding (your feeders should not looked like powdered donuts but near a transparent coating).
Second you will need a multivitamin containing preformed vitamin A (not beta-carotene) with loD provided 2x a month applied the exact same way as mentioned above. (example dust on the 1st & 15th OR 15th and 30th).
