this is why i have not gotten frogs yetI wont comment on the viv specifically - as there is not enough info to really say anything (but what I do see looks good), rather I will ask a series of questions (the same ones I am asking myself as I get ready for frogs). Keep in mind I do not know your history with keeping frogs or anything else for that matter. I just feel that I needed to answer all of these before I purchase the frogs (in no particular order).
yes
- Do you have microfauna being cultured? If not - get that going first - see this thread: http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/food-feeding/66991-how-culture-isopods-woodlice-springtails.html yes
- Are the microfauna established in the viv? If not - you need to get them in there.
- Do you have your fruit flies going and are you successful at it? If not - get those going ASAP (lots of threads on this). Do you have a backup plan if the cultures crash? working on this as we speak
- Do you have stable temps? (record and plot the ranges - including different locations in the viv) This relates to species of frog and plants. yes
- Do you have stable humidity? (record and plot the ranges) This relates to species of frog and plants. yes
- Is your lighting sufficient? and Are you going to supplement with UVB? yes
- Do you have a misting schedule? yes
- Do you have a place to drain the viv to? yes
- Do you have a way of generating clean water (ro/di or distilled)? yes
- What will you do if you lose power? gen
- What species will do best in a viv with that layout? What species will do best given your husbandry experience? See this thread: http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/beginner-discussion/9897-good-beginner-thumbnail.html resurching
- Do you have your supplements? Are they expired? not yet
- Do you have a way to dust your flies that will prevent escapees at the same time? no
- Do you have a quarantine setup? yes
- Where will you get fecals done? dr wolf
- Are all the little holes and places that frogs can get stuck secured? yes
- Is the viv FF proof? yes
- Are you familiar with all species of plants in the viv and their proper care?
Those are off the top of my head - but I think I covered all the ones I asked myself. If anyone can think of other important ones please add them!
