    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 .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    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 .

    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.
