What it works with

Herbivorous reptiles receive the powder mixed into their regular food. Carnivorous reptiles receive feeder insects dusted in a closed container, and omnivorous reptiles can be given either method as needed. The dosing is based on the animal's body weight, so the amount should be adjusted to each individual.
