I have also had problems trying to keep lauticauda in a 1.2 group. The females hassled each other and I wasn't observant enough to recognize it in time. By the time I separated them, the put upon female was beat to the point where she died several days later!
I give a fruit babyfood mixture I make in film canister lids... easy to clean and/or replace. I place them high up in the tanks on little shelves I've built, but a lot of the gex tend to knock them off!

Thanks for the info. I ended up getting a 1.2 trio of P. laticuada. I'm curious, with feeding them the fruit "nectar" (I'm giving them baby food, in addition to crickets), will they take the food from the ground or do I need to elevate it in the enclosure somehow?Thanks

Hi Sal,This set-up would be good for a pair of P.m. grandis or P. standingi. The big
Phelsuma don't do trios unless you have a much, much larger enclosure like a
walk-in! In the wild they are seen in pairs. The smaller Phelsuma tend to harem,
you could have a lot of fun with some P. laticuada, P. lineata, P. quadriocellata
haremed up, a male to several females. If you can find them, the ultimate
Phelsuma is P. klemmeri. Their coloration and behavior is unmatched in the
opinion of a lot of us Phelsuma nuts! They do nicely haremed.Julie Bergman
