Paul, I do not currently give calcium supplementation. I was told (and this may be erroneous) that if I feed the crickets the orange cube, that she will not need additional calcium. If this is incorrect, I'd like to change my ways.

Also, I have another question and please don't laugh. If I have a female and there is no male around, and she doesn't hibernate, will she still produce eggs internally while "waiting" for the male to come along? Would I be able to see her increase in size with the production of 2000+ eggs internally? I've read they breakdown and are reabsorbed if not laid and fertilized. Just curious about the stages of her life/year cycle. Again, thanks for all your help. I took her to a vet over the weekend, and sadly I knew more than the vet did about frogs...which isn't saying much since I'd never heard of shedding.
I can't say I pay attention to how often my frogs shed, so I can't really help answer that one.

The orange cube will not be enough. Get a powdered supplement like "rep-cal" and also a vitamin supplement. There is a good dusting schedule somewhere on the forum that I will look up for you in a second.

The great thing about greys, if you don't put them through a hibernation cycle, they shouldn't become gravid (full of eggs.) So if you have a female, there should not be much concern there unless you pulled her from the wild after she already went through the season. If so, you may want to release her so that she can lay her eggs and produce lots of little baby greys. In a couple of months, you can scoop one of those up or even raise some tadpoles from a local pond.
