Thread: Should I still supplement Ca + D3 when feeding Samurai Food?

    Default Should I still supplement Ca + D3 when feeding Samurai Food?

    I've been feeding mippy on earthworms, crickets and samurai pacman food. Do I still need to dust the worms and crickets if the bulk of his nutrition is coming from the powdered food? It seems like there's plenty of calcium already in the pacman food.

    I would keep dusting. I personally don't trust the powdered foods as a staple food. Although the powdered food sources say they are a complete nutrition.

    Think might not need to dust the Samurai Pacman food (myself do not use product so can't swear by it) but dust the other food items. Will probably need to make your own dusting schedule based on periodicity of cricket and earthworm feedings. Good luck !

    It's supposed to be complete nutrition and require no other supplements.

    lol. I know you don't use the product, but if you were going to try one between the Zoo Med and the Samurai, what would you try?

    Won't be able to answer question because my present frogs refuse to eat prepared foods and I have no basis to compare them. Samurai introduced those foods and have experience with them and ZooMeds product is new to it; but the company has a good reputation. Think you have to start frogs early on them mixes so they will accept them. I'm a simple feeder and sustain my frogs on Canadian NC, Dubias, and crickets with supplements dusting .

    I've looked at all my local pet stores for dubias or any other type of roach. No one near where I live seems to carry them. I've found many US sites that sell them but coming across the border would be too much. I've asked Jim from J&J Reptiles but he never answers that question so I assume he doesn't carry them. So the hunt goes on.

    I just received a pacman food package (The little one) from Samurai Reptiles.
    There is the compostion on teh package and there is D3 in this food.
    So I shouldn't dust with calcium with D3 while feeding with pacman food.
    The problem with D3 is that we never know the ratio
