    Re: Loads of RETF Questions

    I use the Britta with all my glass enclosures that require misting in order to avoid white deposits on the walls.

    Re: Loads of RETF Questions

    I have never seen my RETF trio eat at all in the 2+ years that I've had them, but everyone is fat and happy (and the crickets disappear and the poops appear). I mist with water that's been through...

    Re: Exo terra nano

    If you're willing to move from amphibians to reptiles, check out micro geckos like the Spherodactylus genus.

    You can choose to put the plants in the enclosure in pots, in which case you would remove them whenever you clean. Or you could make a planted environment with an expanded clay ball drainage layer,...

    Re: Lighting and heating for RETF

    I am actually doing that with my current pair of female gold dust day geckos. I had originally taken the advise of Leann and Greg Christensen (www.daygecko.com) when I got my first day gecko about...

    Re: Lighting and heating for RETF

    As I've said in other similar discussions, I don't find that the frogs eat the crickets right away so the crickets have time to groom the D3 off. Also, the frogs do tend to spend some of the day...

    That's funny, I don't remember seeing ducks and grass there (maybe that's why the video sticks and stops working right at the ducks!)

    Re: Pet Ideas for a 24x12x16 Terrarium?

    I'm not that knowledgeable about amphibians (yes, I know it's a frog forum, but I'm a gecko person with a few RETF), but if you want a north American gecko species, check out Coleonyx. C. variegatus...
  12. Re: What should I put in my new 12x12x18 Exo-Terra?

    Day geckos do well in there. Lagodactylus williamsi is a striking bright blue small day gecko (the males, anyway). I have found that gargoyle geckos don't seem to be as active as crested geckos, so...

    I have a lot of geckos of different species, two bearded dragons and a trio of RETF. Normally I'm around every day for the care they require. I would say that 4 days without care is my absolute...

    Re: Fittonia, tiny hole on leave

    Are you feeding the frogs crickets? If so, that's probably what's doing it. They seem to love fittonia.

    I have heat cable taped to the back of the enclosure which I turn on in the winter. People say not to do that because the glass will crack when I mist, but I haven't had that problem. I may have...
  18. Re: second time owner after a disastrous first attempt. (baby CB RETFs)

    RETF are the only frogs I have (I'm a gecko breeder) and I got older juveniles, but what I've learned so far is that they do seem to be inconsistent in how much they're awake vs. asleep. I also...

    Re: Hi

    Welcome to the forum. It would be great to get a more panoramic view of your setup. I can't advise on much because I just have 1 trio of frogs --I'm actually a gecko breeder.

    Personally, I find breeding crickets to be annoying and smelly, yet I go through about 2000 crickets every 2 weeks (I have 3 RETF and an awful lot of geckos). I'd recommend getting 500-1000 quarter...

    Re: Red eye tree frog

    I have a trio of RETF. To be honest, I've never, ever, seen them eat, but the crickets are disappearing, I see poops, and after 18 months the frogs look great. Look for droppings.

    A young crestie will be OK in a cube for about 6 months. If you're interested in micro geckos, check out dwarfgeckos.com.
