New baby whites

[spankyg]

oh thats sweet then, no worries

Well... down here I see plenty of huge whites.. I caught one near the house around a year ago which would have been easy 6 inches, and the other day my little bro caught one that reached 5... next time it rains I'll see what I can find and take some pics.

they seem to thrive down here... about a 10 minute drive from where I live, theres some bushland/swamps, and during the summer rains there are literally hundreds on the road, (it's quite sad cause some get hit by cars)... but there are HUNDREDS.. all around 4 to 5 inches. It's insane.

I got a feeling the ones I'm keeping will turn out relatively large.. I'll see how we go though.. they seem to be growing at an alarming rate.

I suggest feeding them a varied diet.. and A LOT while they're young, I don’t think it's scientifically backed up, but personally I think if you feed them a lot while they’re younger, they will grow a lot quicker and larger,,, so get in early! lol

I love how you're "Opal" has that bluish tinge, To be honest I've never seen a blue whites physically (only on google and this site), the closest I've seen to blue is a slight aqua.... down here they are all vividly green with white spots and the occasional brown.

But yeah, I'll keep you posted 'Ginger and Lee' (if you do the same) lol

I think some being raised in petstores has stunted the growth, and may possibly never catch up. Kisa and I will keep in touch, I stuff mine till bellies are big and showing pink. Mealworms, wax worms, crickets, earthworms, and canned crickets.

Sad about the stunted growth... maybe sprinkle the crickets with steroids lol (jokes)
But yeah, that buffet of bugs sounds delish.
keep up the good work

Congrats on the frog. I hope you have many years to come with your new pet.
