I know this sounds like an obvious one, and I trawled this part of the forum for a while, but can anyone give me some tips on the dusting, and then transfer of bugs (fruit flies and micro crickets) into my Dendrobates viv?
We've had our new guests for just over a couple of weeks and so far i've used small kitchen tupperware pots, business cards for catching escapees, funnels, tubes, sticks... arg!
Problems:
1. Escapees from main pot when shaking into viv
2. Tried a 'transfer dusting pot' - Overdusted bugs in transfer pot - I end up with dust in the viv which looks horrible and a bit worried about it getting all over frog's skin..
3. Shy 'Henry' stays at the back of the viv for ages before venturing out (very active when he finally arrives - but missing out whilst 'Pheobe' cleans up)... how can i distribute bugs more evenly around the tank?
Does anyone have a cracking system for bug deployment? Or do i just need to get a grip?!
Hope you can help! Carly and Rory
