    What you are using is fine for supplements. You will need to give less often because adults do not need supplements as often as growing frogs. Once per week is sufficient.

    The formula is loaded with vitamins as well.

    The frog's poop will look quite different, but the majority of the solid matter will be absorbed with not much waste so the frog may not poop for a while when on the formula. You will notice if the frog poops it will look different.

    Alright man.
    Just finished feeding him is formula. He's starting to open mouth on his own.
    He seems to be shedding more and faster since on formula. Is it normal?

    It's probably unrelated.

    Observe the condition of his skin closely. Does he eat it like they normally do or does he slough off and leave it? Constant sloughing of the skin or trouble shedding usually indicate a skin condition like a possible fungal infection, but not always.

    This year i did nor catch him eating it. But he did not have the strenght to open the mouth either. There are only very small strips coming out already. Nothing like it usually does. There are just some bit when he is in water coming off.

    Probably just a result of malnutrition. The formula should help with that.

    Alright, how long should i give him the formula? Until he eats normally or should i rely on it for a while?
    I'm not planning on using it more than a week due to bacteria, but if it is that helpfull i can get another one. Also it is on the fridge, i use gloves when manipulating etc.
    Also when he eats package says that i can sprinkle normal food with it as if it was a supplement...
