Can I dust Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday? Or does it have to be spaced farther apart? Also how long do I have to keep dusting like this?

Ideally, it should be ever other feeding. This will keep it from building up too much in their system. A young frog should be offered food every day, so the calcium works out to three times a week. An example schedule would be: calcium on Monday, Wednesday, Friday; Vitamin on Saturday; and plain food the other days. When the reach maturity, their appetite will slow down and dusting can be reduced to once or twice a week depending on how much they eat.

These guys need a lot of calcium to grow properly. Since they will do the majority of their growth in the first couple of months, this is the most critical time to ensure that they receive proper nutrition and supplementation.
