Answer 1

No you can't.  

He probably wouldn't drink it anyway.

Putting the crickets with some powder in a ziplock bag and some powder and doing the "shake and bake" method will be fine.  

If you just put it on his veggies that'll be fine.  They only need it a couple times a week.  You CAN give them too much calcium btw.

you can easily get a buch of bags from the grocery store. i just go in and steal an entire roll from the produce section.

the easiest way is to put some egg cartons into the cricket keeping thing you got, and wait till the crickets crawl over it. then, carefully pick up the egg carton without touching the crickets (cause they are bugs and bugs are nasty gross) sheake the crickets into the bag. produce bags are good, since they are long, so you can hold the carton really deep in the bag and minimalise escapees. cause escaped crickets means random bugs crawling around and bugs are nasty gross. then, shake a little bit of the calcium into the bag, blow some air into it and twist it up like a ballon, and shake em around a whole bunch. your crickets will freak out, which is funny to watch, and the you tip the whole bag over, and empty it all ot into the beadrie's feeding area. and watch them be murdered and turned into poo.

you also should keep a little dish full of cacium powder in the beardies tank, so it can l**k at it, if it wants too. (in the forever time that i've had lizards, i've seem them l**k from this thing ONCE. you never thik they do, but they actually do.)  the best, prettiest and cheapest dish to use for this is a little flower pot bottom dish. you can buy one from a garden center for 50 cents or so.
