Fat Tail Feeding and Moist Hide Questions

Hehehe as the time draws near for Fat Tails to be hatching...well, still like a month, but whatever. I'm starting to gather things for their new home. But there are two bits of info I haven't gotten.

One, when feeding geckos, I know their staple diet is crickets, and I think I heard it's not advisable to feed other things when they're young. My question is, young geckos get crickets that they won't choke on, I know this. But at what age/size can you start offering mealies and other variety, and furthermore, what shouldn't you offer? And what are all the varieties you CAN offer? As always I know there will be seperate opinions, but I do consider every single one of them. Also, what brand of calcium supplementation do I use for dusting crickets and also to put in the bowl in their enclosure?

Now, as for the humid hide. I already have one for my Spotted Python, as Invictus, when she was doing bad sheds due to low humidity, advised. So I took a tuperware container, filled it halfway with Sphagnum Moss and I now keep it damp. However, when do you CHANGE the moss? Do you EVER change the moss? And I know already that Fat Tails should have the moist hide option 24/7 for shedding purposes and also if you're breeding for an area to lay eggs.

Thank you, as always, in advance
Jenn

PS. I'll see you all at the expo, I'm 100% sure that I'm going now
