Re: Water Dispenser Vivarium
I borrowed Mom's iPad and managed to snap these photos. These are pictures of the larger frog. Since I've had it, it has begun to swell slightly in the belly just above the legs. The other one was lurking in the shadows snapping up flies, so I couldn't get any good pictures of it. The other one is much smaller, and doesn't have the plumpness of the this one. As you can see, they are very bold in their little enclosure. They are almost always right out in the open, and spend a lot of time together. They tend to follow each other around, and often bed down in the same leaf axil at night. On a side note, I have a question about fruit fly culture media. I've read a lot about people using mashed potato mix. Could you use freshly made mashed potatoes instead of the instant stuff? Does the type of potato make a difference? I was thinking of making a mashed potato mix out of sweet potatoes, and mixing in some vitamin and calcium powder along with brown sugar, cinnamon, and some active dry yeast. Do you think I should kill the yeast before adding it to the culture medium? I was thinking of making a large batch and freezing the stuff I don't use right away. Any thoughts guys?
