Update on my mossies

[MatthewM1]

Yeah im always extra cautious with mine. I figured out after reading alot of posts about people have issue with them escaping, that the tub they live in being colored is usually the culprit. They can't climb up clear steralite, but the colored plastics seems to have some kind of texture that is just enough for them to climb out. And if I drop one during feeding I just smash it, no use trying to catch them. And as my backup my cat takes care of them as soon as they make their way out of the critter room.

They are quite easy to care for. They're fine at room temperature, want a aqua-terraria setup with dark tannin-rich water and stuff to climb on. You can feed them appropriate sized roaches or crickets.

Over here they are a bit expensive actually, not sure how much they go for in the states.

I have seen them for sale at about $100 each. Do you use Peat for Tannins? maybe i will keep looking into them. Thanks.

are the mossies more of a water frog than a tree frog? do they spend most of the time on the water?

That's quite expensive! Saurian Enterprises seems to have juveniles for sale for 50$ and adults for 75$. Juveniles looks out of stock right now.

I use oak leaves and cork for tannins.

About 50/50 I would say
So you should offer them good oppertunities for both. Water shouldn't be too deep though.
