Pixie feeding.

I thought juveniles food should be dusted every other day with calcium and once a week with multivitamin. Not to be rude but I don't think you dust your juveniles food enough if you only give it 1 insect with calcium every three weeks and one insect with multivitamin every three weeks.

How often do the rest of you guys dust your adult or subadult frogs food?

For growing frogs feed daily; CA/D3 2X and vitamins 1X weekly on different days with skip day in between. That usually turns out to be CA/D3 Mon & Fri with Vitamins on Wed.

For growing frogs fed every other day (or 1 on 2 off) follow same rotation, just space out supplements a bit more.

For full grown adults, do the same rotation; but changed to bi-weekly or weekly feedings. So they would get around 2 CA/D3 and one vitamin doses a month .

So for now I should dust his meals twice a week with calcium and one meal with multivitamin?

Depends on what schedule you are. If going with mine and you are feeding every other day; schedule would look like this: Mon CA/D3; Tue Off; Wed no dust; Thu Off; Fri vitamins; Sat Off; Sun no dust; Mon Off; Tue CA/D3; Wed Off; Thu no dust; Fri Off, Sat CA/D3... and continue repeating cycle. Off is no feeding day and no dust is feeding but no supplement day. Can start any time, days were assigned for illustrative purpose .

Ok thanks, I will follow this schedule.

This is what I do:

Babies: Feed daily, Ca+D3 on Mondays and Wednesday. Multivitamins on Fridays; weekends just regular feeding without supplements.

Subadult/Adult frogs: Depends on feeding schedule. For example my ornate eats only every 3-4 days now so I do one feeding with dusting around 35% of his whole meal with Ca+D3 and the following feeding I do the same but dusting with the Multivitamins. It works great and seems to be a pretty conservative dusting schedule for a sub adult/ grown up.
