Pixie passed way !

He’s a very nice green. He should poop every few days to once a week, depends on how fast his metabolism is. If you feed in a separate container it doesn’t matter if the bottom is dark or not he can still see them. If he seems to not like the container you can try tapping some dark paper around the outside so he can’t see out this may help. In all honesty though tong feeding is the best way to feed, you know he’s eating and you know he’s getting his vitamins, sometimes the feeders clean the vitamins off before the frog gets a chance to eat them. If he doesn’t take from the tongs right away don’t get discouraged and keep trying, he will eventually get the idea they mean good and they won’t hurt him

Okayyyy, so good news.
He doesn't refuse tongs at all. I tong fed him two crickets and he has eaten no problem at all
Then he borrowed deep i understood he was full already.
So this morning he was out and he looked like he wanted to eat, so i fed him arround the same time as yesterday, he took them no problem.
Tomorrow i'll give him a break, yesterday i gave him multivitamins today calcium, tomorrow is off for digestion and after i shall try to feed him again!
Ahahah great Monster! This guy has a lot of appetite and thats good
Thanks

That’s awesome, glad to hear this one is already doing better. I really believe the other guy was sick when you got him. That’s good he’s eating from the tongs, now you know that he won’t ingest the substrate and that he will get his vitamins. As you mentioned make sure you give him a day off in between feedings to digest and you don’t want him to become over weight as weird as that sounds for a frog that is as wide as he is long. Sounds like everything is going to work out for you this time around. If you can get your hands on some Repashy Calcium Plus I would pick some up, it is a far better vitamin supplement then a lot of the others out there and as I mentioned it has all the vitamins in one.

I will make sure of that, right know he's just filling the loosy belly he had, now at least he's round either he pooped before he came or they didnt fed him enought food. Anyway the meat in the belly was there, just not round i guess. But yes i'll be carefull.
Well i found the repashy calcium plus, its a little bit expensive but its fine, i'll order some later, but it is all in one?
Right now i'm using reptivite multivitamins +D3 and calcium without D3 by zoomed.
So if i use the repashy it's a all in one thats it? No need for calcium+ multivitamins ?
How many times do you powder insects with it?
And btw, is there such thing as too many vitamins or will they poop the excess? Or can too much powder be harmfull?
Thanks Monster

Yep its all in one, I even called Repashy to make sure and they informed me that yes if you use this there is no need for any other vitamin. If you wanted you could even call them and they would be more then happy to answer any questions you have, most companies have no problem explaining how there products work and are more then happy to answer your questions. The Reptivite one your using at the moment actually is a better product also but I'm not to sure about the Zoo Med one. The Repashy is a bit expensive buts its because its such a good product. Yes you can give to much vitamins but just keep a good schedule and don't over do it, Repashy says on the bottle to use with every insect feed. When my guys were smaller and ate more often though I still gave them a day off from vitamins, and they are all big and healthy adults now. I will try to get some pictures of my guys in the next couple days and post them.

Would love to see your guys!
So actually the most common is exoterra, but i'm not sure about the quality. Zoomed usually is not bad but i'm no expert, to me it seems complet, i'll add a picture:



Btw i'm trying to do something like:
Monday - Reptivite
Tuesday - no food
Wednesday - Calcium No D3
Thursday - no food
Friday- Calcium No D3
Saturday - no food.
Sunday -food, no vitamins.

But still not sure if monday he's gonna eat cause he ate sunday. So either only using calcium once, or using it always and the only rest he gets without vitamins will be is off food days.

And i'm not sure if multivitamins with D3 is a good idea, or if it should the inverse, calcium with D3 instead.

But i've too agree, and i'll get repashy cause it will be less of a pain in the *** to think of how many times should i give it or not and just give it everytime he's out to eat except one day.
Thanks Cory

Your schedule seems fine, I would do a calcium and d3 instead of multivitamins and d3 myself. For the exoterra I tried it and didn’t like it and my frogs couldn’t stand it, I think it had a bad taste to them. The Repashy even though it’s an all in one the maker Allen Repashy has it down to a science and it isn’t something he just whipped together from what I have read. He spent lots of time figuring out how to put it all one without causing harm to the animals ingesting it. But again if you better using separate your schedule is fine, the only thing I would change is I mentioned I would get a calcium and d3 instead of the multivitamin and d3.
