An insect dusting apparatus is disclosed which includes a dusting enclosure surrounded by cylindrical walls, a lower cap, and an upper cap. The upper cap includes a closable insertion aperture through which an extraction tube may be inserted. An insect enclosure and a supplements chamber included in the dusting enclosure are connected by openings in a pour grille which separates them. Crickets are introduced into the insect enclosure, nutrient powders are placed in the supplements chamber, and the dusting enclosure is shaken to dust the crickets. When the crickets are to be dispensed, an extraction tube is inserted into the insect enclosure through the insertion aperture. Crickets climb into the interior of the extraction tube, which is then removed from the insertion aperture, and the cover segment closes the insertion aperture. The extraction tube can then be shaken over the reptile's terrarium to dislodge the crickets
