[…]seems, for reasons not completely understood, to rapidly decimate cricket colonies. Misting the colony, a useful technique as regard many insects, is worse, and again will result in heavy losses. The advent of gel-based cricket water substitutes is one of the most important recent innovations in food animal maintenance. These […]
[…]colonies of sowbugs, earthworms and mealworms as a food source for my collection (regarding mealworms, feed toads only newly molted, or white grubs, and beetles). The balance of the diet is made up of crickets, roaches, waxworms and butter worms. Training your pet to tong-feed will go a long way […]
[…]their nest, where the collar is eaten. The stick insect’s eggs are then discarded in the ant colony’s underground rubbish pile, where, protected from predators and the fires that regularly ravage the forests above, they develop. Tricking the Ants The walking stick nymphs mimic Leptomyrmex ants in color (black body, […]
[…]be well fed before being offered to your pets. Small roaches, waxworms, butterworms and mealworm beetles should also be provided. Anoles are often reluctant to come to the ground to feed, so provide these insects in a cup suspended among the branches. Pinch off several legs of the roaches in order […]
[…]as active and interesting a lizard exhibit as can be imagined. What’s more, establishing a colony of green anoles in such a situation is well within the financial and space constraints of many pet keepers, which cannot be said of most lizard species. My co-workers at the Bronx Zoo frowned […]
[…]baby food, with a bit of Tetramin Flake Fish Food added in, and provide banana skins for moisture. Mealworm Pupa Mealworm pupae are a fine food for turtles, newts, aquatic frogs and those lizards that accept non-living food items. They are low in chitin and likely have a different nutrient […]
[…]From Snails and Sowbugs In addition to the plants, I am assisted in tank maintenance by a thriving colony of land snails and sowbugs (Check Out: Terrestrial Isopods as Food for Captive Reptiles and Amphibians ). Both avidly consume the frogs’ waste products and decaying plant material, and neither requires additional food. […]
[…]are fine. Be sure to keep an eye on moisture levels during hot, dry periods. A breeding colony will supply huge numbers of isopods of all sizes. My Experience I have always kept an isopod colony for my collection, and have used them in zoos as well. They are easy […]
[…]of insects. The bulk of their food in captivity should be roaches, crickets, waxworms, super mealworms, mealworm beetles and wild-caught insects. Canned insects, such as silkworms and grasshoppers, offer an excellent source of dietary variety. Many individuals also accept canned monitor diets. Breeding Captive breeding is possible, but pairs must […]
[…]regarding UVB light and diet. The abstract of an article about Zoo Zurich’s “free-ranging” colony of Madagascar Giant Day Geckos is posted […]
[…]diet should be as varied as possible – crickets, roaches, waxworms, super mealworms, mealworm beetles and silk worms can form the basis. A pink mouse can be given once every 4-6 weeks, but such is not necessary. Frilled dragons will not thrive on a diet consisting of crickets and super […]
[…]this species are female and reproduce via parthenogenesis, so only 1 animal is needed to start a colony. I’ve had the good fortune of running into this odd creature, as well as “banana” spiders, rattlesnakes and others, in unexpected surroundings – more on that next time. An informative […]
[…]salamander’s waste products. Another useful tip in maintaining cleanliness is to establish a colony of isopods (sow bugs or pill bugs) in the terrarium. These small crustaceans can easily be collected below rocks and leaf litter. They are excellent salamander food and avidly consume feces, dead insects and decaying […]
[…]pause occasionally to peer at the feeder, apparently in anticipation of a meal. Establishing a colony of springtails (tiny, wingless insects that may be collected below leaf litter) in the terrarium’s substrate will also provide your frogs with “naturalistic” hunting opportunities. Springtails will thrive on decaying moss and the frogs’ […]
[…]termites in dead logs. Termites love to eat cardboard – damp pieces placed below a board near a colony will attract hoards (I’ll provide info on a trap you can make in a future article). Escaped termites (other than a queen!) will not establish a colony in your home. Flour […]
