    Default Fluker's Liquid Calcium?

    Has anyone tried using this on their frogs?

    A little guy I purchased a while back developed a pronounced head tilt shortly after purchase (as in days, not weeks or months), and I'm worried he has MBD. I didn't notice initially because he also had an injured foot that has since healed, but the tilt has remained. I was thinking of using this instead of powder alone, as the calcium keeps rubbing off the worms before he eats them. If anyone has experience with dosage or alternate calcium sources I would really appreciate it.

    It sounds like a real pain to give. You’d almost have toinject it into a dubia or something to be really effective. I use Canadian nightcrawlers 90% of the time and I dust with calc + d3 every other feeding. I feedhim with plastic tongs so the worm doesn’t rub off the dust and I play tug ofwar until it gets close to being gone. Depending on size if you want to go thatroute I would inject into a few big grass hoppers, but honestly dusting is theway easier route.

    I haven't been having success with surface dusting for him, but I don't know how much damage can be reversed with supplements alone. I was thinking of administering it via water, but I'm not sure if he would get weird deposits in his skin or not.

    I saw something a couple days ago that made me remember this thread. I was in pet food express, petsmart, or petco. One of the big petstores, I'll have to take another look around, I think it was Express. It was liquid calcium, intended to be mixed into the water. I looked online later and found a bunch that were sprayed onto the food before feeding. I know the drinking water one might work for something that drinks water normally, but amphibians absorb water through the skin, so I'm not sure it'd work well, if it'd even be absorbed, etc.
