Finally!

[GrifTheGreat]

Well I went to the Cin City Reptile Expo, met up with J Teezy,and got my hands on some Dubia Roaches to try on my frogs. I managed to get a good deal too. I picked up 10 females, 5 males, and 10+ others that are young nymphs for $9.00 so I grabbed some premixed. Roach food amd water crystals too. Just put them in a large critter keeper with a heat pad on the side, food, water crystals and some cardboard egg trays pieces. If they start to breed faster than I can feed to my 2 frogs ill seperate the males and females for a bit to lower the population.

Thanks Mark,

I forgot that you were giving them away. I guess you would have been the better deal.

First time I drop 3 nymphs in with Grif she got all excited and chased them. She was too anctious and missed twice before she grabbed one and once she had it she had a confused look like she couldn't deside if she liked it or not . She didn't eat the other 2 infront of me, but were nowhere to be found in the morning. Do they burrow? Because if they do then I know where they are if they were not eaten.

B. dubia will burrow - but usually just enough to cover their bodies. A quick skim of the superficial layer of the substrate should let you know if they were eaten or just hiding.

Congrats on entering the lovely world of roaches! = )

Thanks Jeff, I found them hiding just below the surface on the warm side just below the UTH. I knew if they were going to hide it would be right there.

No it's cool. I got a guy buying my whole colony this weekend on Craigslist. When I do have more though I'll give you a really good deal shipped. I know; I love watching my frogs face when he chews down on them. It's almost like he has a facial expression, "What...what...What is this! It's good!"

Don't be sad Lynn. If I could I would come visit anyone I could from the forum. it does suck that we all live so far apart

[Heatheranne]

I agree. We should have an annual get together. That would leave time for planning and travel. It would be so much fun !

Frog loves her's too. I gave Loki one and 2 days later he had runny stool so I don't think they agree with his stomach.
