Let’s clear up some typical confusion!
-Specifically for Agalychnis species ( A callidryas, A moreletii, A annae)
I'll be brave and start w/ my answers regarding my routine to these extremely important questions!
PLEASE ! Chime in! We need experienced answers and those that are not experienced will gain valuable information!
I recently read a care sheet for Agalychnis callidryas and Agalychnis moreletii that recommends a “soaking dish should contain distilled water, dusting all food with 3 parts vitamins and 1 cart calcium , and a 2% UVB bulb (froglets over 2 months of age) ”
Let’s review!!!! We ALL need respected FF advice !
DESCRIBE / REVIEW YOUR TYPICAL ROUTINE ----FOR THE FOLLOWING:
1-2% UVB BULBS FOR FROGLETS >2 MONTHS OF AGE
-FROGLETS
-ADULTS
2- WHAT WATER IS BEING USED FOR SOAKING DISHES?
3-FREQUENCY OF SUPLEMENTS (CALCIUM AND VITAMINS )
-ADULTS
-FROGLETS
My answers:
1-I have always used a 2.0 bulb ( hanging near-by the enclosures)including for my froglets
( I have never had tadpoles)
2-I have never used distilled water in a soaking dish
3-I use a weekly schedule for dusting food items for my adults:
Mon- calc
Tues- vits
Wed- none
Thurs-calc
Fri- vits
Sat-calc
Sun-none
Froglets: daily 3:1 ( vits:calcium) (I use it mixed in salt shaker/stored in a zip lock bag)
