Default Herptivite and Repcal ???

So I have always used Herptivite and Repcal. Are there a lot of people here that vouche for this stuff? It was the first product I heard about so I went for it. I know a lot are going to repashy but just want to feel like this stuff is still a good viable use.

Also, Should I just rotate the 2 every other feeding? or what is your usual method of doing this? I feed our Imi's every day whether they eat or not is their choice. Would it be helpful or useless to try mixing the vite/cal together in a 50/50 mix so every dusting has both in it? or would that lead to to much build up of one or the other?

I've used Rep-cal in a rotation before. From what I understand mixing the two is not a good idea. I don't see any reason why you couldn't just alternate the two. A lot of people use those supps. I have switched to repashy alone and have had good results so far. I was rotating 5 different supps and tossing a lot at the 6 month mark, so I did the switch and the eggs the frogs are producing are at par or better than what I was doing before.

Okay, I should be getting the new supps on wednesday (if weather doesnt screw us) and we'll see. Our lady laid another egg tonight. Just spotted it. So we'll see what happens with that one. She tucked it deep into a brom. so there could be more than 1. I could barely spot it.

I've had a lot of frogs take longer than that to get it right, just so you know.
