So yes, I would certainly get him to a vet if possible. If you post your cricket supplementation regime here others could comment on it with regards to likelihood of MBD complex (you can only say "should be fine or not" - we don't have all the answers), but testing is the way to go I would say.

Sorry to be brief, hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I have examined fecal samples before with micro and never seen anything. As far as my crickets I feed them joshs frogs cricket food and water gel. Before they are fed to the frog they are then tossed in Tree Frog Calcium Plus. Can feeding them too much or a big cricket cause this to happen as well?
