Food & NutritionWhat does vitamin D3 do to Grey's Tree Frogs? Is it safe or harmful?
Thanks for reaching out about Carmine. Not sure what type of food you are searching for, a powder to top-coat insects. A variety of insects can be offered, and gut loaded. Vitamin D3 can be over supplemented so powdered should only be used once weekly. Exposure to ultraviolet B radiation is very important for the absorption of calcium in the intestinal tract.
Catch insects outdoors, as long as your not spraying.
Good luck.
