    Looks like the midges from last night have laid eggs through my tanks. Typical ... now I am going to have a dabble with raising bloodworms :roll: edit spelling oops

    was just worried about parasites coming from the snails .. starting to think just basic issues may of been overlooked and or possibly coupled with albino weaker than norm. :dunno: tbh gave up on the frogs - last year let one lot spawn and spread around some troughs, as had done previously, but got a reasonable result although still some bent spines. will probably try again this summer.

    is a good idea. not too worried about lack of hatch though as don't have the room for growing them on and suspect in the past overstocking to be the main cause of problems. if fertility good have a feeling they float initially? then sink - however at 25C they hatch in about two days so not much time for floating ... Use to have plants and so on - however trying to eliminate snails and potential nasty's for now ... sterile nation is the way forward :lar:

    frogs now laying own their own accord :facepalm: . if condition the frogs well then may not even need any other stimulation at all.

    why not just use small mealworms ... tenebrio obscurus = mini mealworm tenebrio molitor = standard/common mealworms. term mini mealworms seems to be used more for small mealworms since the introductory of proper 'mini mealworms' (t. obscurus) to the market ...

    people use to feed cat food to turtles not that long ago. as more appropriate foods become available there is often a shift in the food used. grated squash, as mentioned above, is excellent for adding bulk to salads. and dandelion leaves probably more a staple than the flowers ... super easy to grow too

    "Barry the beaver" what a name :rolfl: Top effort there too --- i always have duckweed in my tanks, bog plants in ponds, to try and obtain some benefit from the excess nutrients my heavy handed feeding provides. This aquaponics biz is so much better though ... every fish tank could be producing vege for dinner. Even salmonella salad from turtles :sml2:

    i go frog hunting when ever im out on my bike :facepalm: like to dabble in real hunting when the chance arises too. which seems like never these days but working on that. only seen a few goats up here but haven't gone that of the track.

    ahhrr captain. not much else to do in these caves. vid is a bit simple - is how i like it though - and a good place for newbies to start. frogs are like the gateway reptile... better them than turtles anyway.
