J'ai envoyé un mail à understory pour qu'il m'éclaire un peu sur les H. Valeriori au niveau de la maintenance!Pour ceux que ca interesse, et par la meme occasion, si quelqu'un a le temps et peu parfaitement traduire, cela serait super, car mon anglais est vraiment basique, j'ai compris dans les grosse lignes mais ils y a quelques terme qui m'échappe, merci d'avance!
Hi Anthony,
Thank you for your kind words - they are much appreciated:)
As soon as they morph out and until they are sold the valerioi
froglets are housed simply in a 16" cube acrylic, with a potted
peperomia verschaefeltti(any broadleafed plant will work however).
Substrate is papertowel, changed every 4 days or so.
They are sprayed lightly each morning, and heavier in the p.m. prior
to lights out.
They feed on melanogaster, hydei and pinheads and of course
springtails are a necessity for the newly morphed ones.
They will be fine placed in a natural set up. Broad leaved plants are
important, they will roost
underneath them during day. A pond and good ventilation are the only key
things to keep in mind that may differ from the bare bones requirements
for poison frogs. Delicate as they look, they are really quite hardy.
We will soon be sending a shipment of frogs to Dutch Rana so if you
contact him (
rjschouten@dutch-rana.nl )he can import the H. valerioi
for you and can also give you the price for them.
They would not be old enough to be accurately sexed.
Thank you for your interest in our frogs.
Regards.
Elaine
Hi Anthony,
I do not have any pictures of the tank with the young froglets.
We have found that they newly morphed and very young H. valerioi
froglets do best in just a very simple basic tank with only moistened
paper towel on the floor of the tank - no soil/leaf litter/substrate.
The only other thing in the tank is a potted brad-leafed plant.
It is easier for us to carefully observe them and easier for them to
get the food when housed in this simple matter.
Then this paper towel can be replaced every few days and the tank kept
very clean for them.
Once they are old enough to be shipped, they can be put in a "natural" set up.
They are kept in large groups here so a 16" cube could easily house up
to 5 frogs.
Hope that makes sense to you.
Regards.
Encore merci,
Cordialement,
Anthony
