Hi All, I thought I would re-introduce my vivarium group: <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheNaturalisticVivarium> I think it could be useful and interesting...
Dear all, I have a question regarding mantellas in general. Are most of them skittish? Occassionally during feeding time if my hand went abit near my m.viridis...
hey there...I don't know if you'll get many answers on this group, and I wish I could give you an exact answer, but I have never kept frogs (soon, but not yet)...
Yes, most are fairly skittish, depends on the frogs though, M. Expectata are the boldest mantellas I currently own, mine accept baby lobster roaches and...
I have several M. Expectata in a well planted Vivarium With a water fall and pool with a cople of small fish the dry / wet areas are seperated by stacked...
How long have you had them for? It's much better to have them hide then have them stressed. Your setup sounds good for Expectata. ... to ... less ... Most...
Hi everyone, I've seen exactly the same thing - spasming - and would love to know what it is. I've seen it in viridis, pulchra, and madagascariensis. 3 adult...
Nice site you have there. My male viridis had quite alot of spasms and always recovered...about 8-10...can't remember. The spasms became so common that I...
Hi Richard, and all, spasming as described is usually indicative of vitamin D3 deficiency (Calcium/phosphorus metabolism) and/or thiamin (B complex vitamin)...
Thanks everyone for your answers. Good points about the D3. I will check the powder I use, but believe it does have D3 in it. I will definitely put a UV tube...
I'm using Rep Cal's calcium + vitamin D3 supplement. As my viridis was already adult-size, I only dusted his crickets once a week. The crickets were fed on...
I think mine recovered mainly because I put it back upright on the moss and folded its back legs into normal position. After that I just waited..for the ...
If your using just crickets, I'd dust them more than just once a week, maybe 3-5, and get more food sources. As Paul said, the dust doesn't stick to them as...
Hi all, Thought you'd be interested to hear that (fingers crossed) some viridis froglets that I have that I thought were maybe showing signs of calcium...
I am currently haveing to face a hard decision. I have 2.3 Matella Aurantiaca that have been in this 20 long terrarium fully planted with many hide spots. They...
What are the temps in the cage night and day? Where geographically are you located? I would personally acquire more males if possible. These guys really do...
As for the altitude its pretty low. I live right on the east coast. The temps are just right, being mid 70s low 80s in the day and at night dropping 5 degrees....
Hi Luis, My feeling is that the temp may be too high? I don't let my aurantiaca ever get above 79F (25C). I have bred 1.1 together in the past, so don't know...
I use full spectrum (the best I could find) I have 2 for one tank. The temp is currently 70 - 75 during the day and about 65 during the night. I will take pics...
Ok here are pics of the terrarium. I tried to take them as best as I could without bothering my little guys. its 20 long. The males prefer the higher spots at...
What kind of moss do you use, it looks like it does really good. Robbie mantellamantella <killer_cichlidz@...> wrote:Ok here are pics of the terrarium....
Hi all, I have a few older froglets of the red backed M.expectata for sale(aka blushing mantella) They are approximately 3 months out of the water and eating...
