Hi, I read a book that says I have to dust my pacman frog's food (i.e. crickets) in a 2:1 Calcium:Phosphate ratio dust, otherwise too much Phosphate would prevent calcium to be absorbed. What I don't understand is that whether I need to have the Phosphase in the dust at all. I see lots dust in the pet store does not contain phosphate. Could you shed some light on this?

My pacman frog dust has this content:

Crude Protein, min 25%
Crude fat, min 1.5%
Crude fiber, max 3%
Moisture, max 8%
Ash, max 8%
Calcium (Ca) min 14%
Calcium (Ca) max 16%
Vitamin A Acetate 20,000 IU/Kilo
Vitamin D-3, min 4000 IU/Kilo

Is it appropriate? If not, could you recommend a brand that I could easily find?

Thank you very much for helping a newbie!

Kennis
