Hi,
I built the Graboule's terrarium today :
- Exo Terra 18"x18"x18"
- Heating with cāble "HydroKable" 75W fixed on 3 sides
- Light isdone with ReptiGlo 13W UVB2.0, attenuated a lot.
- Substrate : coco fiber
- Fake plants
- Water dish Exo Terra
- ReptiFogger
And Graboule discovering his new environment :
Hope everything will be ok !
Think you made a mistake, "Light isdone with ReptiGlo 13W UVB2.0, attenuated a lot.", Can't use UVB for an albino pacman.
Looks like a very nice setup though, lucky little frog
No problem with ReptiGlo UVB2.0. The light is attenuated with some plates put on the top of the terrarium just below the lamp.
And also, UVB2.0 is 40cm above the frog => Then no UVB's are received at this distance.
Ah, great to hear that! Graboule looks like a very healthy boy, I'm curious though, how much do you feed him in an average feeding? (I'm asking for my friend, who's male pacman is undereating currently.)
My female Hypno eats about 4-5 big locusts per feeding on average.
Looks great GRABibus!!!
Actually, I feed him 2 to 3 times per week. But I will go to 2 times per week very soon, this is sufficient.
I try to feed with much different preys
Each meal is made of 2 to 4 of following preys :
Nightcrawlers
Dubia roaches.
Bimaculatus crickets
Locusts.
I give also 1 baby mouse per month.
+ Calcium + vit D3 + multivitamins
Hi,
since 2 or 3 weeks now, my albino is more and more reluctant to eat certain preys.
I noticed that he doesn't like anymore : locusts, Dubia roaches and mices....
Also, he is really reluctant with the tong feeding, even with dead mices...
The only prey he eats well is nightcrawlers.
I don't really understand how he could change his feeding habbits in a such important way that he eats only one type of prey now !!
he was a great eater until 2 or 3 weeks, eating all preys moving in front of his face...
What is the strategy ?
To feed him less and to not offer nightcrawlers during a certain period in order to force him eating other preys (Crickets, locusts, roaches and mices) ?
Did you notice also these kind of changings in feeding habbits from your side ? How did you manage ?
Thank you.
If some of you could tell me how to manage this ?
He doesn't accept anymore :
Dubia roaches
Locusts
Crickets
Mices...
I can't believe it.
He only accepts nightcrawlers...
Did you already see such feeding behaviour ? How can a pacman refuse all insects and mices, that he accepts 2 weeks ago as a great eater ?
If I only feed my pacman with nighcrawlers all his entire life, will it be ok ? No carency problem ?
Should I insist with Dubias, locusts and without giving nightcrawlers during a certain period so that I can hope he eats again insects at the end ?
