[…]screening with an extra layer of mosquito netting, lest the hatchlings escape – a colony established in the home is not to everyone’s liking! Further Reading Huntsman and other spiders produce a range of sounds. An interesting article on this topic, which includes photos of males in breeding condition, is […]
[…]early demise. The main portion of their diet should be comprised of roaches, crickets, mealworm beetles, super mealworms, butterworms, waxworms, silkworms and tomato hornworms (these last two now available via internet dealers). Canned Insects Veiled chameleons also readily accept canned insects from plastic feeding tongs. Grasshoppers, silkworms and others should […]
[…]are scarce. I also use canned silkworms, live earthworms (50% of the diet), blackworms, crickets, mealworm beetles, waxworms, sow bugs and wild-caught insects (i.e. moths gathered with the aid of a Zoo Med Bug Napper). Further Reading You can learn more about this salamander’s natural history and the threats […]
[…]artificial caves at different levels within the substrate of a 55 gallon aquarium. The resident colony of emperor scorpions dug pathways between the various cave entrances and established a complicated maze of “avenues” – more reminiscent of rodent runways than anything one might associate with an invertebrate. I highly recommend […]
[…]cold climates, ranging as far north as Canada and southern Illinois in North America. A feral colony of a small African species, introduced in produce shipments, is established in southern England. In the USA, scorpions reach their greatest diversity in the southwest, where 60+ species may be found. Diet All […]
[…]Food Items The easiest way to supplement canned food without using mice is to establish a breeding colony of Madagascar hissing roaches (even the well-armored adults are readily accepted) and nightcrawlers. Crayfish, if available to you, are a great monitor food. Other useful food items are land snails (available in […]
[…]location: http://tenebrionidae.net/forum/. Please also see my article on the proper use of mealworms as a pet food: Making the Most of the Mealworm: some tips on enhancing the nutritional value of this pet trade staple Image referenced from Wikipedia and originally posted by […]
[…]effective size of your enclosure. The Value of Smaller Pets and Zoo Animals Observing anoles in colony-type situations will provide you with insights not possible in single-animal terrariums. I have always preferred to keep smaller animals that could be well-provided for in captivity, as it is from these that we […]
[…]females (see below), and will be privy to other interesting behaviors not easily seen in a crowded colony situation. Be sure to remove nymphs from time to time, as territoriality seems to break down under crowded conditions, and there will consequently then be less for you to observe. Treated in […]
[…]looked through a cutaway cabinet at a “kitchen” stocked with a colony American roaches. The huge insects were fed from cereal boxes, sandwiches left on a table and so forth…years later I tried to replicate this at the Bronx Zoo, for Norway rats, but the idea failed to impress my […]
[…]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 […]
