There's 5 of them. One lives in the green vase to the left, (he didn't move
an inch while I was redecorating the tank!) One has moved into the new cave
on the first floor to the right, two are very busy in the glass vase to the
far right, and one doesn't know quite what to do with himself yet... he's
settled under the root while figuring out where he wants to live

I've had them for a quite a while, and they didn't cost $99 when I got them!
That's rather expensive....

Feeding time is in about 2 hours from mow, so if you want to see them all
that would be the time

Thanks again!

Whoah... I parsed in a comma between geckos and mealworms when I read that,
and I was wondering what in the hell, you'd be feeding geckos to! ;-)

On second reading, it made a lot more sense.

LOL! I shouldn't have said it huh You're never going to look at my Zebras
the same way I guess LOL

I know Americans have a thing about maggots, but don't know why? I know
they are disgusting, I don't like creepy crawlies at all (I am a woman after
all , but to me they are disgusting simply because they wriggle. I buy
them from a sports fish store, fishermen use them when fishing through a
hole in the ice.


Maybe it's because it's too cold for them here to develop anywhere we don't
like finding them we don't find them more disgusting than... say an earth
worm?

I understand chopped maggots are not something you normally feed you

fish

No, I admire you for saying that, it's interesting.... I'm impressed that
you can do that... I'd be hugging the throne... :-)

Might be longer than you think. Not too many ladies on this side of the
pond who would chop maggots for their zebras ;~) I have a hard time just
selling bloodworms, and they have to freeze their earthworms before they
get someone else to chop them up.

Have you tried earthworms yet? A little high in fat, so it can't be a
regular thing. I think the recipe is as follows: select choice red
wigglers, wrap them in wet newspaper for a day (so they can pass what
they ate), and then chop into mouth-size pieces.

The impression I have of maggots is a larger version of a beetle or small
cockroach. There would seem to me to be a lot of indigestible material.
Would small crickets be better (just have to figure out how to get them
to sink ;~).

Other foods of choice might be frozen beefheart, community menu and
cichlid delight (occasionally using the one with garlic, to stave off any
parasites). I've also heard good things about mysis shrimp.

Actually, it was eathworms I wanted, but they are not avialable this time of
year. They (sports fishermen) use maggots in the winter, so i decided to try
them instead. The Zebras love them, and thrive on them (they do get toher
foods as well though) so there must some nutrients in them? Part from the
tough skin, which is very thin it loooks very protein rich what's inside
them. I wouldn't like to think I put myself through this feeding procedure
for no reason :P

When the summer comes I'll get some earth worms for them, and thanks for
pointing out that I will have to let them get empty first, I wouldn't have
thought of that!

What's community menu I wonder..?

Nina
