Required supplementation / dietary needs...

All captive frogs need calcium with vitamin D3 and a multivitamin to stay healthy. There are a few good brands to choose from. Supplements should be renewed every 3 months.

Calcium should be with vitamin D3 for proper absorption. It should be given every other day. Calcium prevents metabolic bone disease and assists in vital body functions.

Amphibian multivitamin supplement should be given one day a week, but not on the same day as the calcium, for proper absorption. The one exclusion is the Repashy brand, in which is formulated for daily dosing.

How to dust... Take a small pinch of the supplement and put it into a baggie or cup and gently shake, like the old shake-and-bake method, lol! The food should be just lightly dusted.

Food... Food items should be no larger than the distance between the frogs eyes. This is to ensure easy swallowing of the food. They are nocturnal so it is best to feed them just before bed, just as you're turning off their light(s).

Safe food... Crickets, cut earth worms/night crawlers, small dubia roaches. Avoid mealworms because the chitin in their segments can cause intestinal impaction and can lead to death.
