Lee;
Welcome and may I ask, what food do you feed your various species of frogs?

There are a few other falconers into herps as there is a snake subforum on this web site.

Various food items including fruit flies, crickets, bean beetles, springtails, isopods, mites etc.

Wow I love dart frogs! I was going to buy my first at the White Plains herp show this spring. Do you breed them as well?

Robert Fraser up in Baltimore. He's a bit far from me (I'm south of the DC beltway) but we have a good enough friendship that I shouldn't drive him away with all my questions.

Not exactly sure about small game but I'm sure there's a little bit of everything around here. Lots of open farmland within 20 minutes drive

20-40" depending on where your standing around my place due to snowdrifts. It was really quite bad this past week but we're recovering. I dont think we could handle much more.

I breed any of them that are willing. Recently I've whittled down my workload to focus mainly on Endangered species and more hylids than dendros at the moment. I do have a few odds and ends hopping around that are available though.

White Plains show? as in New York? I go to that one alot.I buy my mice for the birds there. There's always alot of dart frogs there. My daughter had the bumblebee frogs for awhile. I used to have panther Chameleons(Ambanja and Nosy Be blues).I always wanted a Parson's but you could buy a goshawk for the same price! I raised silkworms and roaches(discoid,hissing and lobster) to feed them. I also had Oketee corns from Lee Abbott, a bunch of harlequin and flame crested geckos and bearded dragons.The coolest thing I bought at that show was a giant African water bug,it was about 4-5" long. It ate goldfish and lobster roaches.I kept it in an open bowl for about 2 weeks until I researched it online and found out that they could fly! I usally go to the Hamburg show every year,just to look at the venomous stuff. I'd love to have a gaboonXrhino viper hybrid,but with my luck I'd get tagged for sure!
