I bought my over the internet, mostly from reptilekeeping.co.uk.

Oh re the calcium supplements, I just use a standard reptile one. For vitamins though I use an Amphibian one and a tree frog one.

Well, I don't know about using the vitamins for reptiles, hence I don't, but yes the calcium is the same stuff. I have a source of UV light in my White's enclosure though, so less need for vitamin supplements, so it makes more sense for me to mostly use a plain calcium supplement.

When my frogs were babies I used the Komod amphibian insect dust powder though, then when they got older switched mostly to dusting with calcium.

You can normlly buy amphibian dust from reptile shops and it should have calcium in it too.

We have the fire-bellied toad one for the toads and Mighty Alberto and the tree frog one for the whites.
