    hi, frogs are similar to reptiles in the aspect that they don't produce their own body heat (ectothermic)i think that's how you spell it. They don't drink water, they absorb it through their skin (ozmosis). Here's a photo of the tank set up. The two brown frogs in this photo are giant tree frogs or also known as white lipped tree frog. When i bought them they were the size of a 5 cent piece. (I have photo's but i need to scan them). The tank is specially made for frogs with a divider, one side pebbles the other side has water with a heater in it. They also need a UV light like the turtles and other reptiles. Cheers thanks
  2. Wow your birds are so beautiful. I enjoy reading updates and love the photos to.

    Hello, my name is Rachel and i am addicted to this forum. My partner says he has gone down the list (how much i love him list) since i got my feathered friends. The list goes like this: 1-Babies (my 2 girls) 2-budgies 3-dog 4-Him (my partner) 5-frogs. He also moans on about how i love my budgies more than him. I say 'NO, not more, the same' . Lucky he has a good sense of humor.

    Hi, So he is defiantly a she. Thats okay because we love her. I will preserver with teaching her to talk. I am not going to colony breed, thankyou for your advice. I will set up second avairy for breeding, with separate breeding cages, one cage per pair. Is it okay to breed only 2 pairs at once or should i breed all 3-4 pairs in case i need to foster?

  20. Probably too cold this time of year in Vic to be a snake. Could be wrong. Hope you find out what happened to your eggs.

    Sorry for late reply i have finally moved house. Wow thank you Genericblue. Fantastic info. Still unsure about which mutation is which. I had no idea i had a texan clearbody. I bought him because i thought he was pretty and hadn't seen one before. I will definitely be taking your advice with the pairings when i start breeding. Still have so much to learn before i start. Hi Colin, Sorry to hear about the loss of your babies and best of luck with the surviving 2 from the 1st nest. And i hope all is well in the second nest. I want to set up breeding cages so i can selectively breed but might try a season of colony breeding first. What type of set up do you have? Here are my aviaries all 10 birds are in aviary to the left. before birds went in Hello Ratzy and Kaz. If 'Ned' is a girl, we will have to re-name her 'Nell'. Do females talk? I have been driving myself bonkers repeating "hello Ned" about 1000 times a day for the last month. Here are some photos. Some with flash because it was getting dark. No flash No flash http://i868.photobucket.com/albums/ab249/r...10/IMG_4248.jpg With flash With flash

  23. Very cute. I really love the little guy who keeps going down the slide. I would love to train my budgie to do even one of those tricks.
  24. I don't know much about budgies but i think your birds are stunning.
