Installing the Darwin’s Frog Breeding Center, Day 9 / Instalacion del Centro de Crianza de Ranas de Darwin, Dia 9 Posted by By madfrogger September 16, 20091 Comment After several days in the Chilean sun, the coconuts should be dry enough for cleaning. Después de varios dÃas bajo el sol chileno, los cocos deberÃan estar lo suficientemente secos para limpiarlos. Some, however, are more cooperative than others. Algunos, sin embargo, son más cooperativos que otros. At last! A frog condominium! ¡Por fin! ¡Un condominio de ranas! Talented zoo staff welded a stand for the mister pump and bucket. El talentoso personal del zoológico soldó un soporte para la bomba y el cubo. Jaime wonders whether Andy will paint the stand or the sidewalk. Jaime se pregunta si Andy pintará el puesto o la acera. He painted a little of each, as it turned out. Pintó un poco de cada uno, como resultó. Finally the misting pump and barrel plus stand are ready. Finalmente, la bomba nebulizadora, el barril y el soporte están listos. Seeing perfect sprays of mist in each terrarium put smiles on our faces. Ver rocÃos perfectos de niebla en cada terrario nos hizo sonreÃr. We collected collembola and got our cultures started in the insect room. Recolectamos colémbolos y comenzamos nuestros cultivos en la sala de insectos. Happily, Chilean moss is the best in the world for frog terraria. Afortunadamente, el musgo chileno es el mejor del mundo para los terrarios de ranas. At last, things are coming together! ¡Por fin todo se está arreglando! We got the feeling the peacock was interested in using our moss for a nest. TenÃamos la sensación de que el pavo real estaba interesado en utilizar nuestro musgo como nido. Now, to set up the foggers. Ahora, para instalar los nebulizadores. And they work perfectly!! Y ellos funcionan perfectamente !! Time to tidy up and take some pics! ¡Es hora de ordenar y tomar algunas fotos! Bill Lamar and I are happy to see everything nearing final form. Bill Lamar y yo estamos felices de ver que todo se acerca a su forma final. More soon… Más pronto… Post navigation Previous Post Installing the Darwin’s Frog Breeding Center, Day 8 / Instalacion del Centro de Crianza de Ranas de Darwin, Dia 8Next PostInstalling the Darwin’s Frog Breeding Center, Day 10 / Instalacion del Centro de Crianza de Ranas de Darwin, Dia 10
