Re: Slow moving Whites Treefrog Posted Aug 4th

The frog has all but made a complete recovery. The frog had a Calcium deficiency, pure and simple. We administered 3 drops of T- Rex Bone Aid on Aug 4th. The frog was very weak but showed signs of improvement. we repeated a dose of 2 drops every second day to allow the frog to metabolize the calcium orally. As the frog got stronger on Aug 11 we gave him 2 drops and he started eating again. Tonight, Aug 12 he ate two coated crickets.
we have given him his final dose of two drops tonight. The frog is bright and alert.

A GOOD NEWS STORY FOR A CHANGE!

The lesson learned: Don't rely solely on Calcium fortified cricket quencher and cricket feed(which satisfies the needs of my other frogs) Whites Treefrogs appear to need further supplements of mineral coated crickets.

I will try Miner-all multi mineral supplement once a week and monitor his progress.

Thanks for the help and suggestions on this forum
