Attitude in the terrarium :

Terrarium / Facility:

Not too small Dendrobaten terrarium from 60 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm. automatic rain system and ultrasonic are recommended. Furnishings are brick bricks, stones and Xaxim at. As an embossing Javamoos, Bromeliads and various plants are used. Several medium funnel bromeliads are required for reproduction. Some photo dose type I should be distributed for oviposition in the pelvis.

Temperatures:

The species is a lowland dweller of the Pacific rainforests in northern South America. There prevail on the ground relatively constant 26-27 ° C. The species is exposed in the annual mean only small temperature fluctuations of 1-2 ° C. Depending on the altitude, the day-night variation in the lowlands is on average only 2-5 ° C. For a successful attitude, daytime temperatures should not be permanently lower than 26 ° C, or not lower than 21 ° C. A short-term increase to 29 - 30 ° C or cooling to 16 - 17 ° C is, however, survived by the animals mostly unscathed. Such fluctuations can also occur in the natural biotope in the short term. A night reduction by 3-4 ° C has proved to be advantageous.

Humidity:

70-80%, at noon to 70%, morning and evening 100% (fog)

Nutrition:

adult cope with the usual food animals like springtails. Small fruit fly Big fruit fly Micro grilling or crickets, Small waxmead n, barklice (Micro beetles), Firebrat and finely sifted meadow plankton, As ants and mites specialists prefer Adulti rather smaller feed insects. Freshmetamorphosede young are very small, so that in the first four to six weeks springtails are essential for a diet. For successful breeding, the parent animals must be fed varied and balanced. Exclusively female-fed females produce no or inferior ones Abortiveier and therefore can not raise kittens. A failure in offspring is therefore often due to a poor diet of adults. Meadow plankton has proven to be particularly rich and varied food. Bred food animals should be additionally vitaminized to achieve a similar quality. For adults, food animals such as crickets and fruit flies should be dusted regularly 1-2 times a week with a good vitamin preparation (eg Amivit A after the original B IRKHAHN-Rezeptur). Feed animals for young animals should be pollinated daily for the first 4 weeks. Since springtails are difficult to pollinate, they must be fed, if necessary, before feeding directly with the vitamin preparation. Store opened vitamin supplements in the fridge. Fruit flies can be well pre-fed with liquid vitamin 

preparations (eg sanostol ® , Multibionta ®) and so nutritionally physiological upgrade. Pollinated food animals should be offered in the terrarium on exchangeable trays. Residual vitamin powder residues can not form a bacterial focus on the terrarium floor. Fruit pieces designed in small bowls in the terrarium (eg banana slices) are good places for fruit flies and are soon accepted by the frogs as feeding places. For a sufficient vitamin supply of the feed animals by these Lockstellen the residence time of the feed animals, however, should be too low, so that should be additionally vitaminized. Offered food trays should be cleaned every 2-3 days for hygienic reasons. Spring tails work well on laid out

XaximConcentrate by cutting them with small ones! Quantities of dry yeast sprinkled. Here,too, the frogs quickly learn the meaning of the feeding place.

trim:

Male O. sylvatica are very territorial but female animals also occupy territories and rank at high density. Therefore, a pairwise attitude (1,1) should be preferred. In large terrariums (from 120 cm in length) may also be a male with two females (1,2) be socialized. S CHOOP (2000) reports on up to three females, which he associated with a male in terraria measuring 60 x 50 x 50 cm. However, this unnatural composition means increased stress for all animals, which affects the mating success. Competing females often eat the clutches of their counterparts, so that a higher females number should not lead to better breeding successes.
