Attitude in the terrarium :

 

Terrarium / Facility:

Rainforest terrarim from 40x40x60 cm 
Irrigation system and fogger recommended 
The pool should be planted with as many bromeliads as possible in order to provide different waterholes for the tadpoles .

 

Temperatures:

The species inhabits the leaf litter and rootbases of Amazonian lowland rainforests in western South America. Here the temperature is relatively constant at 26-27 ° C. The species is exposed to only slight temperature fluctuations of 1-2 ° C on average over the year. Depending on the altitude, the day-night variation in the lowlands is only 2-5 ° C on average. For successful posture, daytime temperatures should not be permanently below 26 - 27 ° C, or below 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. The Alto Cainarache, also known as the highland variant Population lives in somewhat higher elevations of the Cordillera Oriental at 600 - 1200 m altitude. Climatically, these areas are largely still to Tiflandregenwald. Only from 800 - 1200 m altitude, the lowland forest passes into mountain rainforest. During the day, the temperature on the ground often rises to 26 ° C. However, the night setback may already be higher (3-5 ° C). Therefore, the "Alto Cainarache" - form should be kept at slightly lower daytime temperatures of 24 - 25 ° C and at a nighttime lowering of 3-5 ° C.

 

Humidity:

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

 

Nutrition:

Usual little food animals like 

springtails

Small fruit fly

Micro grilling or crickets,

recently hatched Small waxmeadn, 

barklice(Micro beetle), and finely sifted meadow plankton, 

For juveniles, springtails are indispensable in the first two weeks. Only frogs that are metamorphosed from very large larvae can sometimes cope with the small fruit fly. For adulti Feeding 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. Store opened vitamin supplements in the fridge. Fruit flies can be well fed before feeding with liquid vitamin preparations (eg Sanostol, Multibionta) and so be nutritionally and nutritionally valuable. 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 lures the dwell time of the feed animals should be however too small, so that should be additionally vitaminized. Offered food trays should be cleaned every 2-3 days for hygienic reasons. Springtails can be well focused on laid out Xaxim pieces by using them with small! Quantities of dry yeast sprinkled. Here, too, the frogs quickly learn the meaning of the feeding place.

 

Trim:

In pairs or in groups. Important are sufficient bromeliads. According to breeders, at least 3 bromeliads are visited per couple (living / sleeping area, oviposition and burbot ripening per one bromeliad)
