Yeah, that's what I found. Just tried to use another word for "poop"They did not vomit, no worries.

I tried to take a single picture, but it turned out real crappy. I'll try another night again. I'm more sure than ever that they're both eating now, so everthing's great in there! Today, I had the most amazing experince. I actually woke up around 08:30, by the calling of the male. That's just incredible.
I'm thinking about breeding moths as additional feeders to the dubias. If anyone have any ideas, tips or knowledge about this, I woul greatly appriciate it!
Hi Martin,how is your groda.lol
[QUOTE=UncleChester;77121]Cool! Do you have a way of recording the sound? That'd be neat.[quote]
I only have my cell phone, and I doubt that will make a decent recording. I'll try though and post it here, if I manage to get something!
Ah, great advice! I've search for moth-ideas, but didn't found much, and now I see why... Didn't occur to me that the larvae actually meta-morphed to something, silly me. I might try to setup a wax worm colony and try to feed the frogs some occasional moths. I just need to do more research about the moths as actual feeders (if there's anything harmful about them, if the could be a danger to the plants etc. etc.).
Grodorna mår bra, both of them!
I believe the moths don't actually eat at all, just the larva. In any case, the average lifespan of a moth that's been released into one of my treefrog vivs is about 2 seconds. If you happen to come across the nutritional content of the moth form, I'd love to see it though. I've only seen values for the larva.
I don't know if there's much of a difference between them, but the waxworms typically available for feeders here are of the "Greater" variety, Galleria mellonella.
Treefrogs sure seems to love moths! Sadly, I have not found any nutrition values about the actual moths. However, if they're used as an occasional treat, the the values shouldn't be a problem (unless they're extremly high in something). IF I find anything, I'll let you know!
Yes, this seems to be the case here as well. I'm getting some second thoughts about it, since they moths have a wingspan of 30–41 mm according to Wikipedia. This seems a little bit to large for my red-eyes. I'm guessing the moths are at a constant size, since they do not eat (like you said), so I can't use the "baby moths" either.I don't know if there's much of a difference between them, but the waxworms typically available for feeders here are of the "Greater" variety, Galleria mellonella.
I'm guessing the Smaller wax moths are smaller, but they seem to be hard to get.
Martin,
Wow ! There are sure lots of views on this thread!
All the photos are great .
