Attitude in the terrarium :

 

Terrarium / Facility:

Rainforestarium from 40x40x40 cm. In terrariums from 50x50x50 cm, for example, a group holding of 2.3 animals is possible. Due to the strongly pronounced habitat behavior, one should provide a terrarium design by forming steps and projections, as well as a sufficiently dense plant for visibility. In addition, climbing possibilities can be introduced, for example, through cork oak branches, in order to meet the high movement and climbing urge of the animals.

 

With regard to the planting, it is advantageous to allow it to grow as densely as possible and opaque in the posterior third of the terrarium. Such a dense terrarium, covered with large-leaved vine plants, eg, ivy, contributes a great deal to the safety requirements of the frogs and thus reduces the awe. On large plant leaves, the frogs have additional spawning possibilities and also use them gladly as places of stay and as call positions. The climatic conditions are stabilized by abundant plants.

 

The settling possibilities in the form of film cans should be distributed as evenly as possible throughout the terrarium. This ensures that not only the most dominant males use all spawning sites alone, but also the less dominant males have enough opportunities to settle with a partner. The spawning areas should be placed as far as possible in the rear part of the terrarium. The animals spawn very preferentially in the upper third of the terrarium, however, the prevailing humidity is generally too low for a good laying development (dingling / fungal growth).

 

This is due to the concept of the terrarium itself. In the upper area the air is usually heated during the daytime by the illuminants (usually more than 25 ° C) and the relative humidity is rather low. In the night, when the lighting is switched off, there is a temperature reduction and an increase in the relative humidity; but this is not sufficient to promote good nesting.
On the other hand, the daytime temperatures in the floor area are significantly lower and the relative humidity is correspondingly higher, but there is the danger that too much condensation and moisture will settle on the floor, causing them to have a higher fibrillation rate. We were also able to observe in the terrariums that micro-organisms (mites, planaria, etc.) accumulated on the ground in the ground area and were also not beneficial to the development. 

 

By applying the spawning opportunities in the middle terrarium level, it is ensured that a continuous temperature and humidity prevails. This factor is to be regarded as positive in the development of the game.

 

There should also be one, but preferably several, water bodies at different positions in the terrarium. Several water bodies distributed in different areas avoid aggression among the animals, since in this species not only the males but also the females have a clear potential for aggression. Not infrequently, we were able to observe that animals that entered a different area have been persistently persecuted and stuck. However, we have so far suffered no losses due to such attacks. 

 

Rainwater and Nebler recommended.

 

temperatures:

Depending on the origin of the population. For upland animals not too warm from 22-24 ° C with night subsidence. Lowland populations can also tolerate temperatures of 26 ° to 28 ° C. But also a night reduction of 3-5 ° C should be offered.

 

Humidity:

Epipedobates anthonyi lives in partly quite dry uplands. There the animals are always tied to small or small watercourses. A high humidity of 70-80% per day and 100% at night should therefore be offered. A water portion for constant access to water should also be present.

 

Nutrition:

Usual small and medium feed animals such as Drosophila , micro-Heimchen, jump tails and meadow plankton. Adult animals can also overpower some larger food animals and like to eat terflys and medium sized dachshunds. The animals are good eaters. The feed quantity and quality have a direct effect on the size of the groats and the sludge rate. In the case of predominant feeding with Drosophila , the layers are smaller and the slippage rate is significantly lower.

 

trim:

In well-structured larger containers good in the group durable. In small pools prefer only one male with up to two females. Social structures of dominant and oppressed animals are formed in groups. With sufficient hiding-places and a good feed offer the under-animals show however no stress symptoms.

 

Tips for breeding:

Since the animals produce very large eggs (up to 30 eggs), an extensive breeding is the easiest. The males do a very good brood care and always put enough larvae in an existing water part. The larvae can either be fed directly in the terrarium in the water part and reared or can be transferred in separate vessels or small aquariums. The larvae are not cannibal predators and can be reared together. you are

omnivorous

and can be well-dressed with commercially available ornamental fish feeders. The young animals go very small on land and need small Drosophila and jumping tails as Erstfutter. An intensive breeding with the removal of the scrims improves the yield of reared young animals, but since the supply by breeding usually exceeds the demand, this is not worthwhile. Since young animals grow slowly and require a large amount of feed, the effort of rearing all the larvae of a lineage against the extensive method is not worth it. In addition, it is ensured that only the healthiest animals go ashore.
