9. Vitamins and calcium? (how often) - have not used...
Have found cricket carcasses after they have been sucked of nutrients...
18. Frog food- how often and if it is diverse, what other feeders are used as treats - basic crickets - approx 12 at a time, 2x a week.
19. How often the frog is handled - about once a week to remove during tank cleaning...
21. Describe enclosure maintenance (water changes, cleaning, etc) i refill with fresh water about twice a week, try to take larger peices out to wipe down weekly, sometimes every other week
OK, Sherry has pretty much covered all possible problem areas; just want to go over couple things.

5. The days of aerating water for 24-48 hours to vent out chlorine went away when more stable chloramines were introduced. Also, as stated, there are heavy metals in water too. Need to get water conditioner and start using it now.

8. Are you gut loading crickets for couple days before feeding them to frogs? I use Repashy's Bug Burger for that.

9. CA X2, multivitamins X1 every week. Do not use on same day and alternate with plain feeding between. Again, I use the Repashy stuff.

18. Try to get some night crawlers or red worms (smaller) into that diet. Can use ones from bait shops, Walmart, etc. as long as they are free of additives like dyes. Remember to cut worm into smaller pieces. If one worm is too much for your 2 frogs can cut rear half (pointy end) and feed that first. Worm will heal; so just feed the other half next time.

19 & 21. With current routine you are wiping out your beneficial Ammonia/Nitrite reducing bacteria once a week during tank cleaning. There is possibility your frogs are exposed to both toxic elements; use de-chlorinated water for wiping tank stuff and cleaning. Good luck !
