Quiz answers are here!!!!!

Here are this week's quiz answers:

HOW LONG DOES A PET SUN CONURE TYPICALLY LIVE? (A SUN CONURE IS A BIRD)


A Sun Conure typically lives for 20 to 30 years.

Here is what a sun conure looks like:


A sun conure is a type of conure which is a type of parrot. Aren't they pretty? (sun conures are my favorite bird) (I like watching the ones at petsmart and I love their orange heads) Apparently they are pretty friendly birds.


WHAT SHOULD YOU FEED A PET AFRICAN DWARF FROG?


This was almost a trick question. Most of you guessed gut loaded crickets, which most pet frogs should be fed, however an african dwarf frog is a fully aquatic frog. Most pet frogs live outside of the water, but these little frogs live underwater, and if kept out of water for to long they will die. So since they live underwater, they do not eat crickets. The answer to this quiz question is that you should feed these frogs live, frozen, or freeze dried bloodworms or brine shrimp. (just a fact here: bloodworms are mosquito larvae, but only use ones from a pet store, ones you find outdoors may be contaminated with pesticides that could kill the frog)

African dwarf frog information:


African dwarf frogs are small aquatic frogs. They typically live for five or more years and grow up to one and a half inches in length.




Oh, and I forgot to mention in my last post about what I am going to be feeding my betta fish, that I will also be supplementing his diet with some freeze dried bloodworms. Bloodworms are a favorite of bettas and very healthy for them because it is what they normally eat in the wild.
