Urates & Whites Tree Frogs

[kueluck]

I've never noticed this in my other WTF or any other frog I have, but my new one, Taliah has white urates in her pee. I can't find anything about this on the web. Besides this, she's healthy as can be. Looking to see if anyone else can shed some light on this.

I noticed some in my milk frogs water dish today actually. Not sure what causes I assumed it was excess calcium that they were disposing of. I remember one time when I fed roaches to my whites and it caused a huge amount of it, there was white powder all over their tank

Haven't noticed that before Gail . What products are you using for supplement dusting and what is the schedule?

I feed her the same thing I feed all the other frogs and toads, yet she's the only one this white urates. If I didn't have snakes I wouldn't have know what urates looked like and would have freaked out. Here's a photo.

Repashy Supervite & Repashy calcium. She is feed every day since she's a baby and I alternate the supplements every other day.

Roaches are their main food source and occasionally crickets, wax or butter worms. But I'm still curious why it's just her. Reading more on about urates can be an indication that there's to much uric acid in the diet. Hmmm.
