HELLO, WELL TODAY I JUST PURCHASE A POWDER MULTI-MINERAL SUPPLEMENT CALLED "STICKY TONGUE FARMS MINER-ALL." THE QUESTIONS IS THAT,IS THIS A GOOD SORCE OF CALCIUM FOR DART FROGS AND DO I NEED TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE WITH THIS? OR IF YOU HAVE ANY GOOD ADVICE FOR ME...THANKS A LOT!!!!

Never heard of it, but it doesn't sound good. I would go to your local pet store and buy Repcal and Herptavite. Mix them 50/50. There are one or two more that are commonly used.

I use it and it is a good supplement, as long as it's Mineral "I". Mineral "O" has no D3 and is for reps that are kept outside and have available sunlight.
Mineral "I" has D3 which in the absence of sunlight( or UV ) is required for the absorbtion of calcium.

Many people use a 2:1 ratio of herptivite to rep-cal. I believe Patrick at Saurian.com uses this ratio, also.

I know allot of people that use this product besides the vitamins that are specifically made for dartfrogs such as dendrocare its probably the best stuff you can use. I use to use it before switching over to dendrocare.
