nativelover Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 my tadpoles have just morphed how long does it take to get them to breeding age ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason22 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 it really depends on how much and what you feed them, but 2 years is average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Few reports of upto three years, most likely in the wild though. Ive had some breed at 6months old, could have fed more too . Should be good and ready for breeding at about 12-18months old, in captivity.

Insect Direct Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 sure will. its only a few hundred dollars worth of livefood, per head to get each one upto full size. or atleast thats what i roughly work it out to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nativelover Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 haha anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 theyre all relatively easy, once you work out the hard stuff some take more attention than others. more often than not the live food takes more attention than the pet your feeding them to. On the other hand sort of unavoidable given the expense to buy in all the time. flies are good breeders (little smelly), but both flies and mealworms are lowish on the nutritional side. crickets and locusts are good staples, everything else good for variety. thats more or less how i see it anyway.

nativelover Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 ok thanks will look up breeding flies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrowssj Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 not to sure on times, feed them ALOT if you are wanting them to mature fast. Males tend to mature quicker than females IMO thou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
