Our new pair of tomatoes...

[kueluck]

Happy to read that you searched out information on them BEFORE you got them. Good job!!

Thanks, that would be great.
We studied abouth their care before we bought them but they caught us a bit off guard with showing breeding behaviour in the first 48 hours we got them.

Thanks, we always do extencive research before we get any new animals.

Reading the article we see that it's abouth D. antongilli, ours are D. guineti, wich seem much easier to reproduce...

Tomato Frogs

The info isn't al that informative but the pics say more than enough...

I just wish EVERYONE would do the same. That would make most of the threads here happy ones.

Not to mention the animals, threads can be healed much more easy.


@Bill, youre more than welcome, it will be a learning process for us too, but we will make sure to update this thread as much as possible and share the experiences we have with these guy's.

Maybe we can start with giving a little additional info...

The tub is 60-40-50cm.
We use no special lighting other than a 6500K daylight bulb.

We keep them on a photoperiod of 13 hours light and 11 hours darkness, temperatures are 24°C during the day with a drop to 17-18°C at night.
In the summertime (now) we mist their enclosure 2 times per day, once in the morning and a heavy misting in the evening, during the winter we will reduce this to 3-4 light mistings per week to simulate a more dry period.

Their water is changed daily, we use a waterconditioner for the bowl and the mistings.., the bowl contains 2 liters.
We feed them 4 times per week, twice with earthworms, once with crickets and once with dubia's.
We also plan to feed them a pinky mouse 1-2 times per month, but we have not tried those yet.
Since they are fresh WC animals vitamin suplementation will be kept to a bare minimum for the time they are quarantained, we only give vitamins or calcium 1 time per week for now, only 1 time per month we give D3.., we believe that gut-loading the feeders very well is much more sufficiënt and less dangerous for over-suplementation with WC animals.

That's abouth it for now, please let us know what you guy's think abouth our plan.., where not maried to it so we are willing to change and always open for suggestions and good advice.

Ps: sorry for all the metric stuff.
Greetings, Kevin & Tamara.
