Crickets or Worms?

[Deku]

As an add to brandons post:
If you feed a varied diet you dont have to dust the insects as much. Maybe just the vitamin powder everyonce in a while.

-Meal/super/mega worms: Are a pain to keep because they bite the animal. Also they're like gum they get stuck inside them.

-Wax worms: My favorite worm since it attracts the animals attention but by a fellow member I was told they are fatty foods. So wax worms should be fed occassionally.
-Earthworms: Have similar nutritional value to a crickets(protein wise) and are less messy.
-Goliath worms: Contains 20-30% Calcium(I looked up this sheet). I found this info on this site I was recommended for feeder insects. It should be in one of the older posts of my feeding questions.
-Pheonix worms: 10-20% calcium.
Slugs are also good for calcium and other nutritional values but hard to find for sale.
-Dubia roaches also have alot of protein in them. But someone posted that they bite so id be somewhat wary about that.

If you mix the diet a little you can stop using calcium powder since the calcium is being acquired through the worms. Vitamin powder may be necessary though. As for vitamin measurements vary so Id wait on other peoples response on vitamin powder reguards.


As for the plants. Yes they will get trampled if not potted. But if you decide to go with potted plants make sure its burried half way and you cut the bottom part of the pot off so the roots dont get trapped in the pot and die. Dont cut too much of it off though. Just half an inch deep and cut the bottom that has those drainage holes. Use sturdy plants. Snake plants are supposed to be sturdy. If you want it to look nice. You can cover the outer pot with rocks and fake moss. Just so you dont see the pot itself. A few plants should eat up some of the feces made by the frog too. :P

usually you are just doomed with staring at the pot, i tried using beaked moss, substrate,etc to cover up the eye sore, and the frog used all items to climb into the plant as the crickets tend to like to hide in the plants, i had no such problems with the potted potted plants set into the enclosure, just couldnt get past seeing those pots

Fake plants? Try fake ivy plants. They should cover up the eye sore. :P I dont care much for pots though. Like if they're there then its fine with me.
