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.

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.

Good quality and easy to use

This works great, best purchase you can make!

This cricket powder mixer is easy to use and is a great way to dust my insects before feeding them to my leopard gecko. It allows for a small amount of the calcium powder to get through with any excess to fall back down to the bottom for future use.

I can not recommend this enough! It has made adding calcium to the bugs so much easier. Before I was doing it in a bag and wasting so much calcium. This lets the extra calcium powder go back into the bottom to be used again. The beardies here me shaking it and know it is time for some goodies!

Had to do a re-order on this because the original order I placed for this was stuck in delivery for Labor Day weekend and never left the facility for two day shipping. It's great for what I need for my Red Bearded Dragon's food and my husbands Frilled Dragon. Easy to clean, and definitely store it in a dry area so the powder doesn't clump up in humid areas. I wouldn't say the hard shell of plastic is durable because you can drop it and it will crack.

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.
