    I have a few whites but I have never encountered a issue where I have had a seizure. I did see something that concerns me is you said that you dust with herptivite and thats it. Herptivite is a multi-vitamin, it has no calcium. You need calcium, I think its a lack of calcium causing the seizures; but I cannot say for sure. If they have not had Calcium since January this is not good at all! This is the biggest issue I can see from the info provided.

    You will need to set a schedule for dusting. Dust with calcium one night and vitamins once to twice a week. I would get calcium right away and focus on that for awhile till they appear to be getting better. Start getting the Calcium in to their diet at tonights feeding. I am not sure how bad off your little guy is at this point. If it starts to look too bad I would contact a vet and see what they can help with.

    another note, personally I would also switch from superworms to Wax Worms. When you get into some of the bigger super worms they can actually bite the inner lining of the frogs tummy after they eat them.

    Thanks for all the help guys. Little guy didnt make it through the day When he passed, he had bright, neon green marks along his back. I guess this was some sort of bacterial infection from what ive read on here? It was painful to come home right as he was passing too and having to watch it and realize i couldnt do anything...

    So sorry for your loss.

    If you have other frogs I would give them calcium supplements daily for about two weeks to get some back into their system. This is what was prescribed to me when I had a dart frog go through seizures. Then provide three time a week.

    Again, so sorry
