Red Eyed Tree Frogs in New Mexico!

[mrzoggs]

put some outside the bowl, and inside the bowl. they might not "know how" to bowl feed yet hehe. i would try covering up some sides too. just so the frog isnt as scared.

the frog ate 3 very small crickets last night (at least I think), I put 3 small crickets outside the bowl and 3 inside the bowl. The ones outside the bowl are missing. As I have papertowels for substrate, I'm pretty sure they were eaten! I'm so happy
Also, covered the sides of tank for security...

Sorry to hear you lost one If they weren't transported correctly, they could have been exposed to extreme conditions, heat, cold, circus juggling, who knows?!

You sound like a very responsible keeper-- like mrzoggs said, don't blame yourself. You don't know what they'd been through before they came into your care.

Hi Ceri, hope that you're finding you're way around the forum better. I read about your viv project, and it sounds awesome (a little envious, actually )! Please post pics!

Ceri,
Of course you "are allowed".

Thanks Toni. Well, lessons are learned everyday, right! Will never support these big chains by purchasing another living creature from them. After reading about Heather and her red eyes she brought home from Petco, I too wonder where they're coming from and how they're transported. Not to mention how they're housed when they finally arrive at the store. Poor things.

On another note, I found poop! I'm so excited and thought I would share
(my husband thinks I'm nuts that I'm so excited about poo, but that is a very good sign things are moving along!

Also, will post a picture soon.... the viv is totally different now (still too small, but I'm really happy with how it is for now).
Paper towel substrate, lots of pothos and snake plants, and a plastic fake tree. The frog is up high in a snake plant, and seems to be more comfortable (less stressed). And it's nose seems to be healing, so yippee!
