    Thanks for the kind reply Corey. Actually, I am now feeding my frog daily. Also, I already have the cricket keeper, and I do dust the crickets with calcium/D3 every other day and with a multivitamin supplement once a week (the Rep-Cal brands; I recently switched from Reptivite to that). The crickets are fed fish flakes and carrots before I feed them to the frog. The other thing I wanted to point out is that my mom has never had to go to the pet shop daily; I usually have a good supply of crickets in my cricket keeper, so she only goes occasionally (and she really doesn't mind; she will always happily go when I need more ).

    Thank you for the encouragement, and everything's fine; I'm not upset.

    Very Respectfully,
    Sanimal

    Just curious on the switch of the brands...? I never had any bad things happen from reptivite.

    Yeah, Reptivite is probably fine, but there were two things that caught my eye. The vitamin A doesn't come from beta carotene, so I wanted to be safe with a supplement where there isn't pure vitamin A in it. The other is that it has calcium in it as well as a variety of vitamins; I wasn't sure if the calcium and vitamins should be mixed, and if that is too much calcium if I use that and another separate calcium supplement.

    You are correct calcium and vitamins should not be be given at the same time.
    One of the moderators has a really good dusting schedule.

    Have you though about starting a dubia roach colony.
    they are easy to breed and care for.
    and they can't climb smooth surfaces like plastic bins that don't have a texture and glass.

    so you can also use the glass bowl method with those.

    and varying the diet of your frogs is a really good thing.

    Since I travel so much I had to get rid of my whites in favor of a packman frog that my wife can tolerate.
    He won't jump out of the enclosure. unlike my unruly whites LOL
    so she has no problem tong feeding my frog while I am away.

    Good luck and you are on the right path.
