I was wondering how often u guys dust your frogs' prey/food? if i use repcal (ultrafine d3) should i dust its crickets

once a week or once a month?

Would it increase the growth rate for a horned frog in particular?

If i dust too much, would it cause problems? Repcal uses oyster shells...

Thank you!

for my WTF's i dust their crix every second feeding with calcium and multivitamin supplements. many people say that if you dust your herps food supply to much with cal/vit's it can cause kidney failure etc, and this is true. but once every second feeding is fine, and for juvs every feeding is fine. just dont overdust the crix, make sure it is only a light coating of supplements.
