I was worried that my tiny toadlet would not be able to eat the crickets I was putting in its enclosure, as the crickets are no longer pinheads and I did not order anymore to come in until Thursday. However, within the last batch I bought, I discovered quite a few that were still pretty tiny, so twice a day, with teeny tweezers, I pick out 3-4 crickets and put them in for my toadlet. Tonight I saw it eating and after 3 crickets, it had a nice potbelly!! :) Pain in the butt, yes, but toad-ally (get it???) worth it! Now, to think of a name.....

However, they do not seem to move much and I have only rarely caught them moving. They spend long periods resting and hiding, and I am wondering if I am doing something wrong, or if this is just the temperament of this frog. I know frogs can be stressed when you first get them but thought they would have settled down by now. They look a decent weight so they must be eating.

The Reed frogs are in a high humidity vivarium kept with a temperature gradient of 70 to 80 F, with heat provided by a combination of a small heatpad and an overhead heat lamp (75 w). I give them 12 hours of 'day' and 12 of 'night'. At night it switches to a blue lamp (50 w) with the heat pad still on. If anyone has any experience with these guys, please could you tell me if the environment is okay or needs to change? I wonder if there is insufficient differentiation between day and night temperatures, or if the heat mat needs to go off at night to encourage them to climb towards the night lamp? ]]> Jayne Irlam http://www.frogforum.net/other-frogs-toads/4166-secretive-banana-reed-frogs-they-okay.html Injured woodfrog http://www.frogforum.net/other-frogs-toads/3989-injured-woodfrog.html Fri, 20 Aug 2010 01:58:07 GMT My boyfriend was mowing the lawn today and the blades must have nicked this little fellow on his hand, he's bleeding and I'm not really sure what I can do for the guy. I have him in a jar with some moss and grass to hide in so he isn't scared, but how can I treat his leg and keep it from gettin infected? ]]> dannie http://www.frogforum.net/other-frogs-toads/3989-injured-woodfrog.html Helmeted water toads? http://www.frogforum.net/other-frogs-toads/3829-helmeted-water-toads.html Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:08:29 GMT Can anyone tell me how to care for a helmeted water toad (Caudiverbera caudiverbera)?
