Have you started dusting their ff with calcium?

No...is there a certain type of calcium to use?

[Heatheranne]

Just need a tiny pinch in a baggie, tap the ff in and give them a gentle shake. Then feed the ff to them. Dust every 2 to 3 days.There are quite a few brands. Any amphibian calcium with vitamin D 3 powder. It's important to get the ones with vitamin D 3, bc the calcium is absorbed best having vita D3.

For an example, I use fluker's brand. I also use an itty bitty pinch of reptivite vitamin powder once a week, and not on the same day as the calcium.

You're welcome .

We set ours free today with a little prayer of good luck . Too many for us to keep. We already have 3 retf's and 3 pacs, plus 2 red-spotted newt adults. I hope they do well.

Yours are growing fast .

We found a puddle when camping this weekend with a bunch of grey tads. It was so tempting to bring them home .

Lol! I have to admit it was tough letting them go. I'm hoping they will do well. I know they know how to hunt, so that's at least relieving. It was a nice cool damp day. We let them go back beyond the barn area at my inlaws, about 50 yards into an unused pasture with nice tall grasses and puddles. Not too many wildlife critter come in that close because of the cows and horse in the pasture by the house. Hopefully enough to keep them somewhat safe from predators. I set their moss there with them because they love it .
