Hi was wondering if anyone can tell me what they do about misting and feeding there frogs when they are on holiday.

I have red eyes and darts?
I do have someone which will look after them but does anyone have any tips to make sure they have enough food etc.?

We've just booked a few of our humid snakes into Viper and Vines for boarding while were away, gives us that reassurance they are in safe hands...

Hope you get them sorted

Hi thanks trouble is i live in birmingham lol.
I do have someone that will care for them just thought i would ask the question just incase tehre were any tips out there.

Thanks anyways.

Our local Reptile centre offers a boarding service they are in clifton nottingham. and have extensive knowledge of all reptiles.

What I usually do is just write everything down that the person needs to know about looking after them ,when to feed and when to mist always works for me.

Put a tub of flies in with a small hole in the lid, flies will gradually wander out over the course of the week.
there may be a few too many at times but wont be a prob..
I have done this many times with my darts when i have been away.

OR.. Why not try it for a week before hand and see how it works?

Then all people have to do is mist them, unless you have a mister.

HTH

ok sounds good i will give it a try.
Have'nt got round to getting a mister yet.
Thanks everyone for your help.

make sure you leave enough water ready treated in bottles wome where obvious, for misting. i leave 5 liter plastic mineral water bottles full of water for them to be misted with.

if you have some thing which won't get damaged by crickets, buy a tub of crickets 1 size smaller than you usually feed. and put cricket food in one end, then cut a small hole at the other and next to a bit of egg box and fill that egg box compartment with cricket dust. this means the crickets have to leave by walking through the dust.
then you herps get gut load4ed dusted crickets on tap for the first couple of days.

i would also put alittle piece of fruit/veg in there, something that isnt going to go moldy in a day or two. I like to ue pieces of carrot, they attract the flies/crix so act as like a feeding station, which means if there does become too many feeder insects in the viv they wont be stressing the frogs out too much. Also the prey remains gutloaded.
