Feeding Dendrobates Lamasi

[MikeM670]

One thing you can do is get a film cannister and place some fruit fly medium from a fruit fly culture in it (larvae inc) - make a small rectangular slit in the lid and then fix horizontally high in the viv - the maggots will crawl out the slit from time to time and can be picked off by the frogs and the smell of the medium should attract the fruit flies you put in there.
Another alternative is to do the same with crushed banana - the flies will be attracted to this so craeting a feeding point high in your viv.

Ok that sounds good. I'm using Rep-Cal Ultrafine Calcium with Vitamin D3 and Herptivite Multivitamin for all my dusting.

Thanks

Another more aesthetic option is to put savu seed pods high in the viv too - really saturate them with water and this will encourage mould which in turn should attract springtails (or you can put some springatil culture in bottom of seed pod itself). The springs will also feed on the bacteria on the pod surface and will like the dark interior. Plus savu seed pods are easily big enough for the thumbnails to get in.

If I have a mite ridden fruit fly culture i move them away from my other cultures and leave the mites to reporduce - tip the mites in savu seed pods in the vivs and the frogs do the rest to pick them off!

Great advise about the savu pods! I might just try that when I place my next order for stuff.
