Hi,
A few months ago I offered these beetles to the public and there are some folks here who have purchased them.
I am interested to hear an update and wondering what dart frogs species have you feed them so far. Furthermore, I am interested to find out if anyone have tried feeding them to tumbnails?
Also, these guys could be the same as what people called "drug store beetles". I have never seen these drug store beetles before but their description is very similar.
For those who haven't heard about them before... this beetle is a great additional feeder, it can add more variety to your frogs diet... I have been feeding the adults to azureus, tinctorius and tricolors.
Recent proof indicates that some dart frogs (all?) do infact eat some beetles in the wild... (hmmm... I knew that before the paper came out. 8) ) BTW, not all beetles are good feeders, some are very high in chitin, some are not palatable...
SB
PS: you can get these beetles at ED's fly meat, FlyCulture, Michael Shrom's frog pond and others.
