Having just acquired 5 vents and observing what appears to be courting behavior in at least 2 of them (I suppose I'll find out for certain someday :lol: ), I'm wondering what board members' experiences have been in letting nature take its course and allow the tadpoles to be raised in the viv by their parents. My understanding is that vents are non-obligate egg feeders and we have quite a few broms in the viv so there are numerous small water pools to use for tadpoles.
Any thoughts about choice of egg laying sites? It would appear that black film cannisters are the item of choice but has anyone had their vents use more natural components in the viv?
My apologies if my questions seem rather fundamental. I'm interested in getting feedback from experienced breeders. I'm intrigued at the possibility of allowing the frogs to raise their young and accept that fewer offspring are likely to survive but suspect that any that do survive will be very healthy.
