C. Cornutas (Surinam) breeding?

[Truffs1178]

Not yet. I don't have the time.

I will try to breed pixies one day but I'm still new to them. Plus still have two years of school left and the probably university. For now ill just stick to breeding my insects.

Off-topic question, is there any downfalls to having a FC pacman than a CB? Anything to look out for theoretically if I did have one?

[Hypnotic]

diseases and parasites.

[Poliwag]

Cb's are less prone to having those problems?

[Hypnotic]

Yes, they are. You have to think about it this way, feeders can contain many parasites, so can the water in the wild and many other things. That is why we don't feed our pets wildcaught feeders and treat out water and clean it on a daily basis. However, don't go thinking every wild caught frog has parasites, because I own 2 wild caught cranwellis and they are doing perfectly.

Heh yeah, I know some wild caughts *can be healthy, i've been thinking about getting a Fc Surinam since theyre hard to find at the stage I want them at currently, so I was curious on the matter if anything could be bad from getting one.

Wild Cornuta are extremely difficult to acclimate and they usually die from the parasite they harbor in with them. Once they become stressed their immune system becomes compromised and they succumb to their ailments. This is not a good species for you to start out with. They take 3 years to fully mature and are almost always a trouble feeder. Especially if WC.

Start off with a less expensive more easily aquired and cared for species like C. cranwelli or C. ornata.
