Good advice. I live in small apartment with a small back yard which nobody in the building except me seems to use (I planted some potatoes and garlic down there... land lord is very relaxed here.) I doubt any chemicals have been used back there for over 10+ years (nobody even cuts the grass) so that'd probably be ok.
yeah, that sounds like a pretty good shot ^-^

[quote]I've wanted to do this for a while, trying to breed the crickets. But I don't have the space. It sure would save a ton of money. $0.12 per pin sized cricket is, what, like $100/lb or something haha. Maybe I'll look into what it involves and see if it would be too difficult. (Uh oh, here comes another stab at another inappropriate apartment-living hobby after an attempt at beer making, soap making, making crab traps...)

yikes, tell me about it >< my mom did the math the other day to see how much we'd spent on them, and it like a good completely awful amount ><; hahaha, I guess it's a good thing the landlord's easy going ^-^ definitely sounds interesting :P
someone said they're tough because it's hard to keep them from getting too big. I think pinheads are a specific smaller breed though, so that should be okay. I suspect if your weather conditions are decent enough for them then finding space would be the only hard part..

Well, I'm no expert as this is the first time they've gotten sick in 7 years (that I know of), but I've been using: Walgreens Pedialyte clone clear liquid, Zoo Med's Reptivite with D3 powder, honey (costco), and amoxicillin capsules. (Started treating with amox about 3 days ago, concerned with bacterial dropsy and possibly developing pneumonia from inhaling the oil).
thanks a ton for the supply list, I'll have to look into some of these. ^-^ I'm always looking for ways to add a few varieties of nutrients in so these would be great to keep in mind.

I checked out Dropsy and it sounds like similar symptoms; though I'm not sure if that's just what frogs do in general with ill, if it is the case it sounds like you're doing well... lots of nutrients, and honey's apparently supposed to have anti-bacterial properties so that might be a bonus..


I'm glad the treatment seemed to work for a bit, and sorry the poor dear had a relapse ;-; I guess if she got better for a bit you most being doing something right though, and she must be at least trying to fight it....
I appologize for the delayed answer, some outside life issues came up that prevented me from being around for a bit ><
I hope things are going well though,
