Brief Description |
| Pneumatic
Rain |
The method described here has certain
benefits compared to methods using water pumps: It is cheap.
It does not pose any hazard to the inhabitants of the terrarium.
It is fairly foolproof (correctly installed)... |
| Catching
Flying Fruitflies |
Flying fruit-flies inhabiting the
apartment can be a nuisance. Trap them and feed them to your
frogs! |
| My
Tanks (Lars
Österdahl) |
All my tanks are built according
to the same general principle known as 'slanting front'. |
| Antsucker |
The battery driven
Table Vacuum Cleaner is a useless tool for its original purpose.
It can, however, easily be converted into a helpful tool for
collecting small ants for your frogs. |
| Drilling
in Glass |
Glass is not the easiest material
to deal with when it comes to drilling. Here is how you do! |
| Norwegian
Springtail Culture |
Norwegians are not permitted to have
Poíson Dart Frogs, but their springtail cultures are
superb! |
| Ant
Sorter |
When you have collected ants for
your frogs, you have the options either to feed the ants to
the frogs as long as there are any ants left in the jars, or
to try to culture this excellent type of food by means of a
’formicarium’. |
| Customized
Pet-Boxes |
Pet-boxes are good for keeping froglets;
for quarantine purposes etc. There are, however, some necessary
modifications to be made. |
| Terrarium
Ventilation |
Fans placed on top of the vivarium
blowing out the warm air from the upper part of the viv is a
good way to lower the temperature. |
| Cricket
Trap |
Crickets that escape in the apartment
are a nuisance, especially when they sing at night. Unless you
have a house Gecko loose, you will need to catch such escapees
by other means. |
| The
"Cutting Edge" Evaporimeter |
Evaporation depends on air temperature,
wind, and humidity. It can be argued that, for the frogs, the
evaporation is a more relevant factor than humidity. |
| Drosophila
Culture |
A good regimen for culturing
drosophila is a must for a Poison Dart Frog enthusiast. |
