Calcium carbonate

Ah I see what you mean. Well that would be an effective way of buffering the soil pH but I believe that is only a serious concern if you're culturing large earthworms like Lumbricus (Lobworms, or "Canadian Nightcrawlers" in the US).

ah man I'm sorry
I messed it all up bad
I just realized that i didn't mention my frogs
What i was asking is if the stuff advertised on the page would be ok to use as a supplement for my frog?
I was reading the back of this rep-cal calcium supplement and the only ingredients listed are calcium carbonate.
I was thinking if it was ok to use as a calcium supplement instead of the reptile manufactured brands that would save a lot of money for me.
1 pound for 3.94, than pay 8 dollars retail price for 4.1 ounces of rep-cal

If you're looking for a cheap calcium supplement for your frogs (sorry, I got confused on the way through this thread and not exactly sure that's what you're looking for) you can crush cuttlefish, the white stuff you give to birds for calcium. I use this and in fact didn't even pay for it, I picked it up on a local beach, washed it and use my pestle and mortar to grind it to a powder. You can usually buy it cheap at pet stores.

Thanks for that Kerry I didn't even think of that I'll have to try it sometime.
And sorry you got confused I worded it very badly. lol
