    Opinions vary among keepers but I can offer the following advice. I’ve been keeping whites on and off for 20 years and they are generally hardy and good eaters. Currently I cup feed. This essentially means that I keep a 16 oz deli cup in the vivarium and when I feed I drop the feeders in the cup. The frogs do the rest. I’m not a fan of tong feeding and this allows the frogs to feed more naturally in their own vivarium with almost no risk of impaction. As far as supplementation goes I use repashy super cal every other feeding. I also use reptivite once a week instead of the repashy and I always gutload my feeders on carrots and dandelion greens. The dusting is light. The dusted insects shouldn’t look like little ghosts. I feed my adults 3 times a week and occasionally I’ll let them fast for a week. I’ve found that the occasional fast equals a longer lifespan as every frog I’ve let fast outlives the ones I’ve fed consistently. I hope this helps and good luck.

    Thanks for that information Dan, it is much appreciated. I would rather take opinions from frog keepers with experience rather than that of any store as I have learned from past experience with my fancy goldfish that sometimes store employees (not all employees though) don't always have a clue.
    I am totally in love with these frogs, even though I have only had them since Saturday I can already see that they have totally different personalities. One is very outgoing and already seems to come to the front and has even jumped onto the front glass to see what I am doing while the other one is quite shy and stays in one spot most of the time. I'm sure he/she is fine though, it gobbles its crickets down very eagerly when its feeding time.
    Thanks again.
