Katy,

Thanks for the heads up. Do we really need to calcium dust if the crickets are being "gut loaded" with food containing 8% calcium and whose liquid needs are met by a "quencher" that is calcium "fortified"? Below are the two that I use.

• Fluker's High-Calcium Cricket Diet - Hi-Cal. Cricket Diet
• Fluker's Cricket Quencher with Calcium - Fluker's Cricket Quencher with Calcium

Thanks again!

Yes because crickets are made of phosphorus and that blocks calcium absorption, which will not be enough for your frog. You must get the a calcium powder phosphorus free and use it 3 times a week for an adult.

Lucy and Hetfield,

Thanks! Didn't realize the phosphorus part. Will get some today.
