How to feed Wingless Fruit Flies

Hmm... 85 is a bit on the high side for darts. Is there any way you can drop it down to maybe high 70s? Or put lots of shaded areas that they can hide under.

Also, the FF kit(s) on joshsfrogs.com are awesome to start off with.

Keep us posted on the progress

Thanks Riko, I lifted the viv this morning to allow for some air to flow under the bottom in hope to reduce the temps created by the under-tank heater. I also replaced the 40 watt lamp with a 25 to see if I can drop temps some.

Thanks again for the reply.

Oh, I didn't know you had a UTH... I would get rid of it... darts are unlike reptiles and dont need heat underneath them, in fact, most darts escape overhead heat under leaf litter, foliage, etc. Hope that helps out too. Welcome to the DART SIDE!

Thanks Riko,
I didn't know that for the darts. The place I bought them recommended the UHT to keep humidity up. I do keep good humidity. I unplugged it today and watch to see what changes in Humidity and temps.
My room is usually the warmest room in the house so it averages 70 and up most of the time.

Hi Don,

If the ffs are getting into the water dish, you can put a small piece of banana in the tank and the ffs will congregate on it. This sets up a feeding station that the frog will go to to wait for his/her feeding.

Leucs were my first frogs many years ago and still a favorite!

Take care, Richard.

Hey there Richard... I see you're posting here more
Don, he's right on with the banana... Rich gave me the same piece of advice a couple years ago and I still do it to this day

Hi Riko,

Yeah, I am broadening my horizons past Dendroboard. I have even made a visit over to Canadart.org (I guess even Eskimos need a hobby!)

Take care, Richard
