Sticky Tounge Farms Miner-all

[dpotter1]

I picked up a can of this to try on some of the frogs today. I was wondering if anyone had tried this yet. The numbers did not look too bad to me:
34-36% Calcium
4,400 iu D3
453 mg Maganese
544 mg zinc
136 mg iron
113 mg Copper
36 mg iodine
3.6 mg cobalt
453 mg magnesium
11 mg selenium

and a bunch of trace element

How different is this from what everyone else is using? Is there anything in this that is really bad? I know there is a great divide in this question, but I just want to make sure I'm not going to harm the frogs by using this.

Thanks

I know its awesome for chameleons which have slightly different needs. Not nearly as sure about its value for PDFs but for chameleons, for which is was designed, its the best IMO.

I've used it for 7+ years with great success.

I have used Minerall for 3+ years on dragons, chameleons, and dwarf monitors with very good success... Over the last few years I would loose a frog here and there but could not track down why.. Recently I had a perfectly fine Wegtgold blow up like a bloon and die within about 6 hrs after using minerall. Thinking back on my experience several of the frogs I lost in the past have died from blotting, I have since quit using minerall on my darts and started using dendrocare....I have had very good results.
Different things work for differant things work for differant people just watch your frogs closly for blotting. I also had a liver graph performed by the local zoo and myself, we discovered that the frogs liver was covered in black spots..we anticipated vitamine A toxicity or vitamine overdose of one type or another.. Minerall was the only supplement provided to the frogs 2 x per week.. Hope this helps and happy herping.. Dan

Wow
after reading my last post I should cut down on my drinking or at least run spell check.. Anyway I did use mineral on my darts in the past and had a few problems.. I currently use dendrocare on all my darts(80) and still continue to use mineral on my dragons, geckos, and other lizards. It seems like the mineral may be a little to potent on the vitamin aspect. I would watch your frogs closely for bloating, which is a good sign of vitamin toxicity.. Good luck with your frogs and happy herping

Where can I get Dendrocare?

Here is what I have experenced myself . I used rep-cal and herptivite mixed 1.1 for 3 years ,fantastic productivity and healthy frogs healthy frogglets .
Swiched to sticky tounge and productivity I noticed after 2 years was nil!! the only change was the supplements . Iswiched because I could get it delivered w/ my crickets and I paid 3.00 a can . I racked my brain to try to figure out what had changed ,why my frogs had in some cases compleatly stopped breeding and the cases of sls skyrocked.
Swiched back to the rep-cal w/ herptivite , frogs that stopped started breeding again clutches of eggs looked better, sls stopped
Once again this is just my experence , I know of others that love it and it works well for them, in my case it diden't .

I recieved my dendrocare fron Eds fly meat. It is a little spendy $13.50 per container but the price is worth the results. Here is the link http://www.edsflymeatinc.com/prod04.htm, I think that Black jungle also carries the product. In the above mentioned post I have several friend who use Rep-cal and herptivite with very good results. Best of luck Dan

For 7 years or so I used strictly Minerall on every other feeding.

I now also use Herptevite and Rep Cal. This is in addition to Minerall. I basically just rotate among the three of them.

I also occasionally just sprinkle flies straight into tanks.
