Hey there, dragon fam!

We got a three-month old red monster last week and she is just the cutest! We've had her for 7 days now and she is in a nice 120-gallon custom enclosure we built with lots of hiding spots and enrichment climbing sticks. However, so far she is only interested in eating bugs (roaches, crickets, and meal worms). I know at this age they should have a diet of 80% bugs and 20% greens, but I can't seem to get her interested in eating any of the fresh salad I put in every morning. I even try showing her roaches and worms that I put right into the salad but she won't move up, she just waits for them to be presented in front of her. When we try to present her with greens, she eats nothing. Is this normal for such a young and freshly homed dragon? Any advice on getting her to eat greens?

I had two red eyed tree frogs passageway recently, very sad. Both suddenly turned dark/blackish hue and were dead in two days. I plan to switch to white tree frogs as a much heartier pet option. However, what would you all recommend in terns of sanitizing this tank? What all do I need to wash and replace to make sure any bacteria from the other frogs (it's been over two weeks since they were in there) does not linger?

Hey there! I finished building my 18x18x24 bioactive terrarium and plan to add two white (dumpy) tree frogs. Before I get them, is this big enough to house two? Any other suggestions on things I should add to make them the happiest they can be?

Hey there! I woke up this morning and one of my two red eyed tree frogs is looking a little unwell. The other one is bright green, is this one just getting close to shedding its skin?

Hey there!

We just put two red eyed tree frogs into our new bioactive terrarium. A few questions:

- The humidity is staying at 99% and it's ben tough to get it to drop at all. I'm guessing the best method is to remove the topper glass a bit and let more air circulate in?

- We have tongs and live crickets but the frogs aren't taking the bait we put in front of them yet, is this normal? Do others have good success tong feeding their frogs with crickets? I've also heard we should put them into the tank, but I worry the small crabs at the bottom in the water feature may attack the frogs.

Hello!

I'm a first time bioactive terrarium builder, getting ready for red eyed tree frogs. I have an 18x18x24 enclosure set up with a cork back, drainage, substrate and some climbing materials. More coming soon.

The question: I live in San Diego, CA and really close to the beach. I'm having a hard time balancing the heat and humidity given the natural air. I have a Monsoon solo and even when humidity is high, the enclosure feels dry. I didn't spray between layers and I'm wondering if I need to give it a manual spray down for moisture or if that'll spike the humidity. I'm planning to put the frogs in there in the next week two weeks or so.

Hey there, etron family!

I own a red 2019 etron Prestige edition with 42,000 miles. It has no accidents and we bought it from San Diego Audi a few years ago. Fast forward to last week, it was time to replace the tires for the first time. I looked up the recommended best option for a quiet ride and chose the Michelin Primacy Tour AS.

I tried to save a few hundred bucks by ordering the tires through CostCo and made an appointment to have their service team do the install. All went smoothly until I came back to pick the car up, my rims had new scratches and my back right tire was even missing the Audi cap cover! Additionally, they lost five of the security lug nuts, so I filed an incident report on the spot and am waiting on their third party claim service to determine how much I can expect them to cover for repairs to the rims and the missing parts (what a nightmare).

Anyway, the issue I'm posting about today is the unbearable rubbing noise that has been happening with these new tires ever since I picked it up from CostCo. Whenever I apply the brake, there is this loud rubbing noise and the rubbing noise is also audible when I take off from a stop. It goes away when I get above 30-40 MPH, but it's just an awful noise that makes me very concerned that the tires were not installed properly. I attached several photos of the wheels as there is also a TON of brake dust in the wheels now, thick red dust.

I decided to just take it directly to Audi and have them fix this whole mess that CostCo likely caused. Does anyone know if the brake dust indicates a significant rubbing issue? Any thoughts on what this could be and how expensive to fix? I doubt CostCo would admit to anything, so I guess I'll just have to learn a very painful lesson here, never ever take your car to CostCo....
