Vitamins,Calcium and D3

[Jason123]

I have a pacman frog for a month.
He/She is very small,almost 4 cm.
He/She is eating 2 well dusted crickets every day or every other day.Sometimes he/she is not eating for 3 days.
I dust the crickets with reptivite.
I did some research on the exo terra website and I found that there are many food supplements such as elctrolyte,calcium,calcium + D3 and multivitamin.
Exo Terra : Nutrition
Should I use something of these?
If yes, how often?
Thank you!

reptivite are vitamins, you need to use it once a week. get Ca with vit D3 and use that every second feeding.

Thank you!
For a week now , I used to dust each cricket very well with reptivite.
I think that it makes him to grow bigger cuz yesterday he was 4 cm and today 4.4 cm !
Why must I use the c and d3 every other day and reptivite once a week?
I think he is going very well now !
Thank you for your advice, I really apreciate it!

If you flood his system with vitamins it can cause Vitamin Toxicosis which is the same as poisoning the frog. Use the Reptivite once a week and buy a low Phosphorus Calcium powder with Vitamin D3 and use it every other feeding to every second feeding. Horned Frogs need insane amounts of calcium to grow properly. If you do not provide this your frog will contract MBD(Metabolic Bone Disease), Hypocalcemia, or Tetany and can and will die if not caught in time.

You must provide what your frog needs in order for it to be happy and healthy. By providing this you should see much more substantial growth within the next couple weeks.

Really thanks!
I just ordered the calcium.
But why every second feeding and not at each feeding?
Thank you!

Too much calcium can overload their system cause problems with the digestive tract and can cause edema(fluid buildup).
