    I have vitamin powder ready but isn't it enough to do one time in the week?
    Yes, once a week is enough when dusting with a multivitamin. You will also need a calcium powder that contains Vitamin D3 and dust with it every other feeding. Don't dust with both at the same time in the same feeding.

    When you buy the Rainworms before offering them to your frog you will need to cut pieces off the worm that are of appropriate size for your frog. Usually a little longer than the distance between your frogs eyes.

    When you get your frog please post pictures of him/her so we can see and also help with offering food.

    That's a little better. Almost there. What kind of lamp are you using and what kind of Bulb?

    Oh you mean a Clamp Lamp Lol! That's good. Does it have a dimmer switch?

    If you get a 40 or 50 watt bulb the heat will be slightly higher and should be where you need it.

    If you can order a Fluker's 5.5 inch Clamp Lamp with dimmer you will be able to adjust the amount of light and heat produced by the bulb. These are the lamps that I use. They also make a 8.5 inch size.
