    Default Question re: Repashy Calcium Plus

    My frog hates the vitamin (HerpVite) and calcium dusts that I initially purchased. I have had some success with a spray (Zilla) but noticed that it doesn't contain vitamin D3. I can also inject food items with calcium solution, but again there's no D3. I'd really like to correctly supplement his food.

    I've seen a few replies where people have better luck getting their frog to take the Repashy supplement. My question is: should I be wary because it's an all-in-one supplement? I read up on the product website, and the manufacturer states that nowadays an all-in-one supplement won't have the shortened shelf life of earlier products. I think I've also seen another all-in-one, made by ZooMed, so he's not alone in believing that. Of course, these are all statements made by the manufacturers of said products; then again, Mr. Repashy's products have a good reputation in the fish and shrimp communities (and possibly others).

    What's the consensus these days?

    Well, he refuses anything I've dusted so far. This is one juvenile pacman (C. cranwelli). The only thing he'll take consistently is nightcrawlers - and I think that's actually because I'm too afraid to dust them in case he starts rejecting those when they're dusted, too.

    Rejected food: dubia roaches, phoenix worms, and he refuses mealworms/superworms and waxworms if there's even a hint of dust. (They are all occasional items introduced at irregular intervals. I like to give a variety where feasible, and it was surprisingly easy to culture those guys.)

    I hate dealing with crickets, so they are a very occasional treat.
