Mezium affine

[pannaking22]

Anyone know the full diet of M. affine? I've thought about getting some to use as eventual feeders for dart frogs, but talking with a couple frog people they found some pest control site that says they eat plants. So my question becomes will they eat living plant material, or are they more interesting in dead and dried? Based on the other dietary bits of info I found it seems like they like dry foods, but I didn't know if someone knew more about these than I do (I don't know much admittedly).

I may be able to offer mine some greens later on and see if they do anything to them.  I had not previously heard any speculation that they may eat live plants though. Mine certainly are satisfied munching on oatmeal and dog food alone.

Yeah I'm inclined to think they really only like dry things, plus them citing some pest control company's website isn't exactly what I'd call a sure thing. You'll have to let us know if they like them!
