My Frogs Came!!!

[Leefrogs]

Crix are quite easy, I'm sitting on about 600-1000? Allot!! They love fish food, seaweed, and the mix u find on directions to left. If u don't incubate, they take two weeks to hatch. I over did it on breeders a bit, but I put the small ones in a shot glass or baby food jar, and let my Lil one dive in. That should thin the herd a bit.

Each female has 50-100 eggs!! I use food containers for babies, and 3 week olds, like a 2 gal lasanga type, and 2 big 5 gal tubs for bigger ones. Just feed water and clean. Easypeasy!! When dirt dries out, just spray again. My dirt w/ eggs dried everyday, just keep spraying, they'll hatch.

Gingerlee I think its great that you are out there helping to dispel the myth that these things are hard to do. For me it was fruit flies. They are super easy but I was afraid to do it for the longest time. All you need is encouragement.

Congrats on the new White's! I can't wait to see them, try to get some pictures up soon. And listen to Ginger, you can definitely trust her advice.

More news on them! I thought I lost one and I was totally freaking out all day today. I mean I was scared, I thought it was dead in the house somewhere I searched every part of the higher area of the terrarium and could only find the smaller one. Then I read online that sometimes they burrow because of too less humidity or too much heat and I decided to look on the ground. I still couldn't find it so I just decided to hold the smaller for a while and maybe try and get him/her used to me. Then as I was putting him (I am just gonna call him male from now on) back, I saw the bigger one (I will call this one the female until I figure out what they really are) looking to see what was going on. The reason we couldn't find her is that she CHANGED colors to brown in one night!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looked so cool!!!!!! She was lying on the ground perfectly blended in, like a little chameleon. I will get pictures soon! I would of taken them earlier but I wanted to see if the bigger one turned up first. Thanks for all your advice and well wishes

They are tricky Lil buggers. Just some advice, if they find a spot and u disturb them, they will usually fine a new one. Lump, my brown, always finds a way to dissapear on me. I'd need a dentist mirror on a flexible intena to find him. And I have kermit, that's green all day then brown at night, and lump who's brown all day and green at night. Like ying and yang. Have fun, but try to let them settle, even if u think they escaped!

Congrats on the new Whites. They are awesome frogs. They will amaze you and soon you'll forget you bought a TV.

Can't wait to see pics.

Gingerlee, you should do a how to on breeding crickets. I just picked up 1000 and put them in a large storage container. Added 1/2 potato and a pile of cricket drink. Any help would be appreciated in getting them to breed.

thanks Don, but no. Seperate like 10 of each sex if u want 1,000 babies, dirt in a short pot, 10 days, lots if spritzing and eggs hatch--- 2 weeks at room temp, and if yr in a rush, put dirt cup (covered) on top of one of your hoods and they hatch in days. Really, they do all the work!!!
