Yeah, they eating quite well (mainly crickets), and I am dusting twice a week now (once a week I just dust with calcium, then the other time I have a choice of either superfoods tree frog dust or Komodo amphibian dust), we're also gut loading the crickets with carrot and dandelion with a weekly feed of Superfoods cricket food. Once the frogs get older I'll drop the dusting to once a week, my research suggests that because I have UV lighting in there (5 and 2) there is less need for vitamin D3 dusting as well, so I may switch to mainly dusting calcium when they are older, with just an occasional dusting of something like the Superfoods tree frog dust.
The creeping fig is doing surprisingly well so far, it really seems to be enjoying the environment it's now in, it wasn't at all happy in it's pot but is growing really well now.
Oh and I think I have a solution to feeding the plants. I currently use a product called pro-fito to feed plants in my aquariums, which has a very low copper content, no nitrate content and only a low iron content in comparison to house plant foods. I use it to feed plants in shrimp tanks, and shrimp are EXTREMELY sensitive to copper, so I am thinking very occasional dosing with this heavily diluted may just be the trick?

Sounds good- I'll have to make sure Lewy hears about that. He's the plant man in our house  |

Can't say I blame him, plants always finish things off far better than plastic or silk ever could. ;) We popped to B&Q yesterday, bought a lovely prayer plant. We're growing it on a windowsill at the moment, but looking in the pot it's 3 plants planted together, one of which is quite small. So my plan is to remove the small one and use it in our next terrarium. :) I'll get a pic of it later.

About time I put some updated pics of these guys up. I only managed to get pics of 2 of them though, the 3rd dived for cover the second the light went on.
As to who is who, well I think these are hippety and hoppety, but I can't be certain.
Hippety
Hoppety
They have certainly grown from the little things they once were. lol

Ages ago Kaz, especially Hoppety! He likes to tell us to shut up if we disturb his daytime nap, loudly! People hear him when they phone us, as the phone ringing annoys him and prompts him to call, as does the washing machine, the kids shouting, us shouting to the kids, loud music.......
Good job we find it cute and amusing really.  I've nicknamed him Frogzilla.

I did a little more with their terrarium today, it's now plastic plant free. :D
 .
I had split my prayer plant to go in the new dart viv, and had a piece left that I decided would look good with the White's. :)
