It is recommended that you replace your supplements every 6 months. Take pumilo's advice and invest in some repashy products. I dust every single feeding.

Thanks for the advice. You dont think this could be a problem specific to the phyllobates because everything else hasnt had any problems?

I'm not harshing you, I'm trying to help so please don't take this wrong. Your other frogs simply haven't shown problems yet. They will die too if you don't start a serious dusting regiment with top quality supplements.
Maybe your Terribilis dropped first because they were young, active, and growing and had a higher need for calcium and vitamins? Maybe the little that was available was going into bone growth?

I thank you for your advice and have not taken any of this in a negative way or am I disagreeing with you guys at all. I just figure the more information I can attain from successful keepers the better I will be in the future. I have ordered some repashy calcium plus and will dispose of my old supplements. Thanks again for your help.

Repashy Calcium Plus is designed to be an all in one supplement that will take care of calcium and vitamin needs. To keep your Repashy Calcium Plus at peak potency, you should pour some into a smaller, airtight container. Maybe pour one months worth in. This smaller container will stay in your frog room for dusting with. The main container goes into the fridge but NOT in the freezer. At the beginning of each month, refill your small container with the refrigerated supplement. IMPORTANT! Never let the refrigerated supplement come to room temperature! Pour some out and put it immediately back into the fridge. Reason is that frequent "cycles" of cooling and warming will degrade the vitamins even faster.
I replace the main supply every 6 months whether you still have some left or not.
If you feed every day, you may be okay with dusting every other feeding. I feed about 3 times a week and I dust with every feeding.
