So I fell in love with a frog...

Congrats on your new frog Lady! Azureus are great fun to observe (we have 4 of them).

Have you decided on a supplement dusting schedule you will use with his flies?

I hope you and your frog have a long happy time with each other!

Thursday and Sunday. We bought the same two vitamin powders they have been giving him at the Pet store, which they just mix together.

I'm glad you are happy for me. Thank you for all of your advice and believe me I will ask your advice in the future.

Pet Stores are notorious for doing things wrong and giving poor poor advice so please pardon my skepticism.

What supplement were the giving him at the store?

Calcium +D3 should be offered 4 - 5 times a week and a multivitamin should be offered 1 to 2 times a week. In reality you want to be supplementing with every feeding. It is also important to keep tabs on the expiration date. Supplements will expire 6 months after you open them. Around the 4 to 5 month mark you want to replace them with fresh ones and toss the old ones in the trash. You will throw away a lot of unused supplements, but that is the nature of the beast.

Here is a current thread that is going on about this very topic http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...pplements.html

I knew you would correct anything wrong with the advice from the pet store. The one powder is a Rep-Cal pink Phosphorus-Free Calcium with Vitamin D3 the other is Repashy's Vitamin A Plus which says to give only once a week on the bottle. What would you recomend?

Ok, so I looked at the post you linked and flybyferns posted pictures of the vitamins I have in a post there. She also showed a blue labeled multivitamin next to the pink one I mentioned. They do sell this at the pet store, so I can get it really easy. I still plan to use the vitamin a plus but only once a week and very sparingly. Lucky for me I bought the smallest bottle they had. I think I have the days figured out for each one in my head. I will have to write it out, because it will be a daily "What do I add this time?" situation.

Both the blue and pink labeled bottles (RepCal) are common brands and work very well. The one caution I have is for the vitamin A. It can be very dangerous and is very easy to overdose your pet with it. Most people who use the straight vitamin A that I know offer it only 1 to 2 times a month and only to their breeding adult pairs. Just offering the information up as a precaution. The Blue Multivitamin is what I used for the first 4 or 5 months I had my frogs. It seems to work very well

Ok, I will only use the vitamin A once a month. I don't want to kill my frog with an OD. I will buy the blue vitamins because they make sense.
