Re: Red-Eyed Tree Frogs?
Let me help you convince you mother:
Crickets: They smell bad. They are fast runners (difficult to catch). They jump. They make noise. The lay eggs. They eat smaller crickets.
B dubia: Practicly odourless. Slow moving. Can not jump, nor climp smoth surfaces (like a plastic box). They do not make any noise. The give birth to live roaches. They are not cannibals.
This means that you need at least 3-4 different boxes for crickets, seperating the eggs and then orginazing them by size. With dubias, you just have one box for everything. If you have a plastic box that's quite high, it's very unlikely that they escape. And if you drop one, they are slow, so you'll catch them.
Also, they are not listed as pests, at least not in Sweden. Don't know about US though.
I've heard alot of people complaining about breeding crickets as feeders. Never heard anything bad about breeding B dubia.
Re: Red-Eyed Tree Frogs?
well, you convinced me, for sure! haha Crickets sound way too complicated.
do you know if i can find them at petsmart or petco? that's where i usually go for pet supplies.
Re: Red-Eyed Tree Frogs?
We don't have Pecto or PetSmart here in Sweden, so I can not answer that. However, they are not avaible at the usual pet stores here. But I can't imagine that they are hard to find in the US, since they are easy to get here. Might be someone here that sales them. If not, just look at a local (or national) reptile website. I'm sure it will not be a problem to find.
Re: Red-Eyed Tree Frogs?
Oh, sorry, Didn't pay attention to the nationality! haha i'll check the petco and petsmart websites
