Hey there, fellow reptile enthusiasts! π¦πΏ
Let me share with you the awesome benefits of using springtails and isopods in your reptile's enclosure.
When you pair these little buddies together, they create a whole ecosystem that keeps your reptile's home squeaky clean.
They'll chow down on excrement, fungus, and mold that can grow in your reptile or amphibian's enclosure.
Here's the cool part: they breed and become a calcium filled self sustaining food source for your reptiles and amphibians that live in their environment. It's like a buffet for your scaly friends that promotes natural hunting and enrichment! π½οΈπ±
So, by having these critters in your reptile's habitat, you're creating a self-sustaining and natural environment that keeps everyone happy and healthy. Isn't keeping reptiles and amphibians amazing? πΏπ #cleaneating #Happy #reptiles
Guess what? Our captive bred red eye tree frogs are back and they're looking amazing! πΈβ¨
These little cuties have some specific husbandry needs to keep them healthy and happy.
They're a arboreal species that require a tropical environment with high humidity, so misting their enclosure regularly is important. These frogs also need a temperature range of 75-85Β°F and a UVB light for proper calcium absorption.
As for variety in their diet, you can include small insects like flightless fruit flies, small roaches, and even small waxworms as occasional treats every other day.
β οΈJust make sure the insects are appropriately sized for your frogs to avoid any choking hazardsβ οΈ.
It's important to dust their food with a calcium supplement a couple of times a week to ensure they get enough calcium for their bone health.
Vitamin A is a great supplement to prevent deficiencies that make the frogs lose the stickiness in their tongue making it hard for them to eat.
Provide a shallow dish of clean, dechlorinated water for them to drink and soak in. It's essential to keep their hydration levels up.
Our captive bred frogs are healthier than those you'd find at local chain stores. Since they've been born and raised in captivity, they haven't been exposed to parasites or other illnesses that wild-caught frogs might have. Plus, we give them top-notch care to ensure they thrive. It's all about creating a safe and nurturing environment for these little amphibians. πΏπ±

"π¦ The adorable rubber ducky isopods!
These little crustaceans make unique and fascinating pets. ππΏ In this post, we'll dive into everything you need to know about their care and keeping them happy.
π Housing: Rubber ducky isopods thrive in a moist environment. Set up a terrarium with a substrate like the frog family tropical blend or our frog family South American sheet moss to retain moisture. Don't forget to provide plenty of hiding spots, like cork bark, drift wood or leaf litter.
π¦ Humidity: Maintaining proper humidity is crucial for their well-being. Mist their enclosure regularly to keep the humidity levels around 70-80%.
π½οΈ Diet: These cuties are detritivores, meaning they feed on decaying plant matter and leaf litter. Offer them a varied diet of organic materials to keep them healthy and happy.
β οΈ Caution: While rubber ducky isopods are generally safe, it's important to handle them with care and avoid introducing them to sensitive ecosystems.
π€ Have you ever considered adding these delightful isopods to your collection? Let us know in the comments below! And don't forget to share this post with your friends who might be interested in these unique critters. π¦πΏ"

Here are some examples of how supporting Frog Family Reptile & Amphibians is good for our local economy!
1)We breed all of our frogs and a handful of reptiles at our breeding facility in Christian County Missouri, meaning that we produce U.S.A made products locally and have no need to outsource them.
2) We work with small businesses from all across Missouri like @maddishgeckos, @Brandon Simon and @hypnotic exotic ect.. Helping these small brands grow with us instead of tearing them down.
3) We do reptile shows across our country representing our state in a positive manner while bringing revenue in from outside our community.
4) We take 10% of our revenue from our breeding programs and use it to do free educational activities for children and their families helping reduce the rehome rates on reptiles & Amphibians in our area.
5) We also use our contributions from the community to help clean local water systems like vernal pools, lakes, streams and rivers.
By removing boats and trailers full of trash from our own back yards we reduce our footprint on local wildlife habitat helping conservation efforts dramatically π.
