    Default Hello everyone

    Hi,I'm new here,but froglover all my life! Mostly Treefrogs in the past,but by chance a friend got divorced,which would have meant 4 xenopus males(although I didnt know that yet)down the drain()or just released.
    Of course I took them,they are NOW healthy,a bit to fat,but they love baby crickets,sundried tubifex and red mosquitolarvae(last 2 from JBL,I'm not risking infections through live food like fish or live tubifex).A tip to all waterfroglovers,but especially xenop. Ger yourself some "Lymozyme"or "Koizyme"(nearly same),follow dosage dir.closely and your frogs are safe from Red Leg or Balloondisease.I had to take a crashcourse in the net,cause xenopus I never had before.
    Any more xeno-friends out there who want to share their experience?I am gratefull for all tipps,so feel free to write!
    Best Regards,
    Stealth
    p.s. I live in Vienna,Austria

    Thank you very much,Ebony! Is there a xenopus"underforum" on here?Ashamed I must admit that I'm not good at comp.Born in 68 may be a little excuse,but any help is usefull and GREATLY appreciated!!! I see there are many Dartfrogfans here,interesting little hoppers! I never had any,since they cost round 600-800Euros here. I read that they stop producing venom,even in wild catches,after 1generation in terrarium(excuse any spelling errors,please).I can only imagine that that is due to no stress in terr.environment.In the wild,crawling round in the jungle-bottom leaflayers,prob.makes them meet a foe every 20 hops.Theoretically(I wouldnt advise this),stressing them lightly but continuously with a straw,etc.should bring them back to producing venom,if someone is interested in that.Would some "old School"(or at least one)xenopus-keepers get in touch with me? I wish you all happy,healthy frogs,nice to see that this gravely endangered animals have a "lobby"!! Best Regards, Stealth

    Hi Fae,
    WOW,great pics,allow me a dumbo ?,are these their real colors?? If yes,what kind and where can I get them???? Also anyone selling young pair of Silurana(xenopus) tropicalis,please give note! Do most of you go for the more exotic kinds(I understand that),or does the "normal"American Treefrog(white stripe on side,these were and are sold cheap here,sadly!)still have its fans?So must be easy to breed.Any Advice?
    Best Regards,Stealth

    Are you talking about the pink tree frog? It was photoshopped. The real frog is the green one, and I just turned him pink because I like pink!
