Ufff, this topic is so controversial!! Ok. My conclusion is:
If I only dust reptivite there could be problems. But, if I also dust calcium (WITH D3 too??????) nothing bad can happen
So, I will dust with calcium (each other day?)

Even though some said it's not necessary because the reptivite contains calcium. Your frog is young still, and growing. A calcium deficiency is likely if he doesn't get enough, and a calcium overload is unlikely.
MBD (metabolic bone disease) can be fatal.
The reptivite contains the vitamin A which is necessary, but when consumed with the calcium at the same time, the calcium doesn't get absorbed as easily. That is why many recomend you use a calcium powder singly, separate from the vitamin.

I am very confused as to why John would say it's ok to use only reptivite, and not a calcium only powder (in above link), maybe someone can shed light on this?
