Tell me about it! :lol:

Id try and get a pic of her but she doesnt fit in the frame anymore

 

[agent A]

ok so i wouldnt be surprised if the toads spawned within a week on account of the upcoming storms here and look how fat moaper is

 

[scytheclaw]

i like how theres some much variation between certain individuals,great log and great pics

 

[agent A]

No promises but moaper and screwup are in a pretty stable amplexus right now...

Lol no eggs yet but hopefully soon

I still need a protein base for my tadpole food, i have plenty of plant matter stuff but nothing proteinous

Would tropical fish flakes work for this purpose??

 

[Bug Trader]

Yes a high end fish flake, as well as crished tad bites, marine pellets, and Repashy makes a few tad mixes there are plenty options A

 

[agent A]

Should i start hydei cultures on repashy media so that they r higher in nutrients for the metamorphs??

 

[Bug Trader]

FF media wont make the ff any more nutrient rich but it will have alot to do with the cultures larva production. There isnt much evidence of them having the nutrient upkeep from larva to pupated fly the bulk of the fly's diet is the yeast in the top of the culture

 

[agent A]

Then how do i properly nourish ff eating toadlets?

 

[Bug Trader]

FF dusting supplements A, I can get you a list but I would start by focusing on Calcium Plus, Vit-A and maybe SuperPig in a 3-2-1 ratio

Im using calcium plus and vitamin a plus at a 3:1 ratio now

The toadlets hate its taste though

Last year i used herpitive in a cup, dusted ffs, then let them crawl into the cup but the toadlets sometimes fall into the dust and dry up

 

[Bug Trader]

no A, what you do is put a small amount of supplement into a cup, tap ff into it and give them a twirl in it covering them in the dust then just tap them into the froglet viv trying not to tap the excess supplement dust in. No cup or anything needed to be in with the froglets. The dust will stay on the flies 6+ hrs in amounts more than enough to properly supplement your toadlets.

you can see the cells forming

freshly fertilized, notice the tiny dent on top, that's where the sperm entered

i like this picture
