Cricket dusting shaker

Coat feeder insects with calcium for a reptile

A screw-top shaker cup for reptile keepers: drop in feeder crickets or roaches with a pinch of calcium or vitamin powder, cap it, and swirl, and every insect comes out evenly coated. It is tall enough that they can't climb out, and the side scoop holds the powder spoon.
