woodie feeding tub/calcium Q

[bigi]

Hey guys,

I am finding feeding lizards woodies with tongues to be long and drawn out, and woodies escaping etc , which I do not want in the enclosures.
Now I have setup a couple of feeding tubs with fluon.
Once I have dusted the woodies and placed them in the tub I am finding the calcium dust comes off rather quickly.
Any suggestions on keeping the calcium dust on them would be appreciated.

I sometimes mist them with water then sprinke the calcium over them

What type of lizards are you feeding?

this happens with mine also, but there is enough calcium still on them for the lizard to get enough i think.

I Just get a glad bag (Sandwich bag) Put enough calcium powder in their for one feeding session and useing a seperate container like you have for feeding of my bearded dragons. If the powder isn't sticking try a new batch as i find it dosen't stick thaat well once a few insects have been through the bag.

I hand feed the dusted woodies. Solves the problem

Yeh that's the method I use. I just dust them all, feed as many as I can to them while they are freshly dusted, then dump the rest of them in the fluoned tub with the leftover powder, so hopefully they get enough of it this way...
