Hi there,
When I was in my local reptile store last weekend, I noticed a little rescue bumblebee dart frog with what appears to be metabolic bone disease that they had taken in. He just spoke to me - I wanted to give him a good home and all the TLC he needs to live the best life possible. I emailed the store and they approved me to adopt him this weekend. I'll be bringing him home on Sunday and placing him in a 5-gal temporary enclosure. I need to watch him for a while and get a feel for his limitations before I determine the size/layout of his permanent bioactive enclosure.
My question for you folks is whether I should follow a typical supplement schedule or if he will require more to compensate for his condition? In general, I plan to loosely follow the Josh's Frogs supplement guidelines/calendar here: Link
Thanks in advance. I also plan to consult my vet, but thought I would query here in case any one else has has first-hand experience.
