Nomnoms 4 Omnoms

[Theeblueking]

So I just recently purchased 2 sub adult female samurai ornates as well as 4 young caatingas from Mike. Awesome Frogs!!!
<<<< in purified water, LUCKY FROGS!
I have been feeding the little guys crickets and I offered big girls live full grown mice, the one on the left seems to have a large mouse or small rat in her tummy and has refused any food(offered crickets too). The one on the right has eaten 2 full grown mice in 3 days NOMNOM! I had the 2nd mouse left over since the one frog refused it and decided to offer it to the other frog and she ate it. Ive been told and read that feeding them hairy feasts may cause impaction, so I know feeding them full grown mice isnt a good practice(to be safe). So I have all these frogs and need to feed them, I want a food edible by both small and large frogs, I would like to buy in quantity as to save money. Can you guys recommend a food and the place to get them online, the cheaper the better, as long as its good for my Omnoms.

Roaches. If kept correctly they breed prolifically. They also make an excellent staple rather than crickets, aren't noisy, and NOT stinky! The species of roach would be up to you, but most people stick to Dubia. I have a colony of my own and all my frogs eat from it.

Like Kitten said, Dubias are great! They are better for the frogs than crickets and not as messy and smelly. Once you get a colony going it is a piece of cake. Another good staple is nightcrawlers. You can cut off appropriate sized chunks for the smaller frogs and feed whole worms to the bigger frogs. You can also offer Pacman Food. It is a complete balanced diet. If you buy several bags at once you save on shipping.

I have to agree with culturing your own roaches. I culture my own, and now I enjoy keeping them so much I actually have several species just for the heck of it :P

I wrote up a caresheet for culturing lobster roaches here: http://www.frogforum.net/food-feeder...feeder+roaches
Culturing dubia roaches is exactly the same except you don't have to worry about the vaseline barrier because dubias can't climb smooth surfaces like lobster roaches can.

I bought my dubias from LLLReptile, but other good websites are BugsInCyberSpace and AaronPauling
