Frozen silversides?

[Bodeman]

I heard that frozen silversides can make decent treats for frogs, but that they have a vitamin deficiency (thiamin?) and that they should be dusted with multivitamin powder before feeding. Can anyone say anything about this? If ok how often can I feed these things? I want to be sure before I try something new. And if not ok, I'll forget it all together.

Yes. I think you can get them at petstores as food for both marine and freshwater fish.

Then yes they will be an excellent food for your frog. If they are a feeder for fish then you can assume that they are free of toxins unlike other species. More research and other opinions would be a good idea. I would supplement with a calcium vitamin blend, Zoo med has great products. You could even staple on these. Whoever i would recommend diversity when it comes to food. Fish can be the best food for frogs depending on the species.

Why would you need calcium supplementation when feeding fish with bones?

[demon amphibians]

Fish bones do provide calcium, but not as much as you would think, The powder i recomened has more then just calcium it is a vitamin blend. If you are stapling one item or even feeding 5 different things it is still a good idea to supplement. And powder is your only option with frozen foods.
