A simple log of what prey was given to the NosyBe Ambilobe cross hatchlings during the month of August, 2010 (their second month of life).
Babies are fed multiple times a day(breakfast, maybe second breakfast, lunch, second lunch, and maybe super). Listing it all out makes for quite a big blog entry, but oh well!
Throughout the month they got two types (two sizes) of fruit flies, raised in four types of medium.
Supplements, if used, are indicated by: C=calcium (RepCal or sticky tongues mineral O brand); CD3=calcium with D3 (RepCal); V=Vitamins (RepCal Herptivite).
