I am new to frogs, and recently purchased a cobalt arrow (or tinc I think they're called). It seems I got some rather sub-par advice from the pet store that sold it to me, so I thought I had better come here and clear a few things up.
Firstly, I was told to feed it every day, and no specific amount, just a few shakes of the FF jar. Ok, good enough..... we've been doing that, and she's eaten some each day we put them, but I notice that plenty are still hanging around the tank (especially since one day I got too good of a shake in there). I am not sure if she's not an established hunter yet (I actually don't know her age) or if she's just not hungry. I would kind of assume the first to be truer given that she does go for the ones I put in when I do as long as she's out of hiding. The person who sold it to me said I could not over feed it if I tried, and that I could just put them in there and she'd graze whenever. My question I guess is whether I should put new flies in each day for now and just ignore the ones I see in there, or if I should assume she'll hunt those down first? What is the harm of a bunch dying in there? A large portion of them seem suicidal as they go straight for the water dish anyway....and another bunch somehow find their way into my house.
My next question is regarding supplements. I tried to read the pinned post but it didn't clear things up for me entirely. First off the person who sold me the frog did not mention them... I got that bit from research and was instructed from a person at a different pet store to get the rep-cal ones. SO I have the calcium and D, and the multi-vit. She said I should give them with each feeding for now. I don't know if that's correct, or what "for now" means and thought maybe you could clear it up for me.
Thanks
