Color Enhancers

Socalsam · 05-06-2009, 02:13 AM

So I have been reading some posts here and on other forums and people always ask others if they use color enhancers for their frogs. The only time i have given color enhancers is when they are tads. Does anyone here use color enhancers?

I only use color enhancers for frogs who have predominately red in color, which is paprika. I dust the flies with that along side the vitamins I use and it brings out the coloration of the frog tremendously. Otherwise no I do not use color enhancers.

Yeah paprika is also good for seasoning ribs it's delicious... but this seasoning is good for red colored frogs... I guess you can say you are what you eat...

I had tri-colors for awhile and we do state this in my book! It is a great way to get the color you want, since i feed every other day I use it probably twice a week. Or I should say I used to use it at least twice a week.

I was never fond of seasoning my frogs food but you think red basti's would color up...?

Yes you can use this for your Pums. I have posted a link to reassure you that I am not going to kill your frogs. LOL

I use naturose once a week with all my frogs. Once every other week Spirulina gets dusted. I alternate with a mixture of naturose, paprika, and spirulina.
I tend to notice a difference more in my yellow frogs with supplementation. I do not notice as much of a difference with my red galacs.

I used to use Nekton-Rep with color enhancers, now I just use the paprika about once a week. IMO it make a noticable difference in the color of the frogs.
