So I tried tapping the flies out EXTRA carefully this time and it's just not working well at all with the runny media. It sucks really bad because I have probably hundreds and hundreds of flies still in there! I would REALLY hate to throw it away!!![]()

In the early 2000s Chris van der Lingen made a study into vitamin use in poison dart frogs. By listening to some of the problems where different frog farmers ran into, such as the emergence of the spindle leg syndrome, sudden death of adult animals etc and after a lengthy comparison study between food animals in nature and food animals we farm ourselves, it turned out as expected that there were some differences in vitamins and minerals.
Vitamins created by the sun, vitamin E and D3, are hardly found in our farmed food animals. Vitamin D3 ensures proper absorption of calcium, needed for proper bone development and vitamin E helps maintaining a health endocrine system and thus good farming results.
Chris has developed a sbalanced combination of vitamin thoroughly testing it on the frogs he farmed himself, noticing farming results significantly improving almost immediately. The frogs behaved much livelier, producing healthier eggs and young frogs proved much healthier, and there were no signs of spindle leg syndromes or other anomalies anymore. Time was ripe to market this vitamin combination, bringing about Dendrocare.
Dendrocare is the missing link between food animals we grow ourselves.

If media becomes runny; it's pretty much ruined since tipping the container will spill the runny media into your collecting container. It happens randomly to my D. hydei cultures... no idea why.
Myself use Repashy SuperCal MeD and it's a superfine grind that is easy to work with and sticks very well to the smallest flies.
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
