Pac Man Frog diet question

[James64]

Hello,
How often are you supposed to give a pac man frog calcium and vitamin supplements? I have a 2" juvenile ornate horned frog that I've been feeding mostly red worms and some crickets, dusting every other day or so, half reptical calcium and half herptivite powdered vitamins, as per the instructions on the container. He's been doing great, just haven't been able to find much advice as far as to how often you're supposed to dust his food. Thanks lots, should post a pic soon

Ive read as seldom as once a week. I pretty much do a vitamin one day, skip a day, calcium the next.

Hi, can someone help me? I feed him mostly worms with crickets as treats. The only reason I'm a little concerned is that I read that too much calcium can be poisonous to pac mans. Thanks lots

If you are feeding him every day and he is eating the food, I'd give calcium supplement about twice a week. I would give him a vitamin/mineral supplement twice a week too, but on different days to the calcium. Even this is probably too frequent to be useful, but unlikely to be harmful.

thanks, that's about what i figured. it says on the container of the calcium and vitamins (reptical and herptivite) to combine them half and half and use that way. Any reason you should give them separately?

not sure if separate is prefered, i guess i would like to know this also as the powder i use is a mix of calcium, d3, etc
