[…]They usually appear as tiny white “dots” jumping about below fallen leaves. You can start a colony by scooping them up in the leaf litter or by purchasing any of the several species available through commercial suppliers. Most breed well in captivity and can build up enormous populations under favorable […]
[…]in 1-3 days. This lifestyle renders it difficult to rear Bloodworms in captivity. I did have a colony established for a time in a large zoo exhibit, but collecting the larvae is difficult as they create small tubes in which to hide by day. Fortunately, Bloodworms live quite well under […]
[…]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 […]
[…]excellent alternatives. Other nutritious additions to the diet include pre-killed pink mice, super mealworms, sow bugs, waxworms, grasshoppers, mealworm pupae, grubs and crickets. Commercially-reared insects should themselves be fed a nutritious diet before being used as food for your turtles. Cicadas may be an impotent food item during the fall; […]
[…]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 […]

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 […]
[…]to reading more about their lifestyles, especially their diet. Some years ago, I cared for a colony of tiny Kihansi Spray Toads (please see article below) at the Bronx Zoo. They gave birth to live froglets, which were the smallest amphibians I’d ever seen. Some could not even handle a […]
[…]captive frog nutrition that should be of interest to all amphibian and reptile keepers. A colony of Strawberry Poison Frogs (Oophaga pumilio) was maintained on a diet comprised of fruit flies. When carotenoids were added to the fruit fly diet, the frogs produced significantly more eggs, and a greater number […]
[…]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 […]
[…]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 […]
