guys?

[arci90]

if nobody wants to reply me i make another question

what do u think about use of UVB lamps for pixies? its totally useless? or maybe good?

[GRABibus]

UVB can be useful because with UVB, the frog can fix calcium in a better way (No necessary to add D3 in food).
But, if UVB lamp is too strong, it can be dangerous because their skin is sensitive.
If you add a UVB lamp, you have to be careful that it will not warm the frog.

Just use a normal lamp with UVA, and add calcium + D3 to food.

Calcium => 1 to 2 times a week
Calcium + D3 => 2 times per month

My reptile vet and "amphibians and reptiles" specialists that I know told me about it.
Too much vitamins for amphibians can damage their kidneys for example.
