Re: Bronze or Brown Mantellas?
Was rather excited this morning. Woke up, turned on the habitat light, misted, came back and dropped off a few tiny bugs, walked by a few minutes later and saw both frogs up front and eating for the first time. I guess you are a frogger when you find this kind of thing exciting. They remained active and then headed to the back where it is heavily planted. They did pose for me for a bit which allowed me to capture a few really good photos.
Re: Bronze or Brown Mantellas?
Well, I discovered that the bug that I was feeding to the matellas, and which they love, is called the larder beetle. Specifically they are very interested in the LB grub. They are very easy to grow as a food if you are familiar with raising meal worms and such. I put some dried dog food in a screened aquarium with some wood and soil from outside, sphagnum moss, rice, cereal and forest bark. Mist it periodically and before you know it you got grubs.
