Tex Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I have a few Simandoa conserfariam but not yet long enough to complete a breeding cycle. Will someone please let me know what to expect as far as life cycle and anything else I might need to know to be successful? Thanks a bunch.

pierre72 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ive never heard of that species, sorry. But best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariblatta lutea Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 These guys are easy to raise, but adults seem to take loooooong time to breed. I've had adults since July 2014 and I still haven't gotten any babies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks, I wonder though if, since these feed on bat guano in the wild, they would do better if I supplied them with some. I could go collect it at a few locations here in Houston where there are large bat colonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go collect it at a few locations here in Houston where there are large bat colonies. As it documented in the original paper, they feed on guano of Egyptian fruit bats. I doubt if you can find any fruit eating bats in Houston though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
