  1. Hi LCB! As far as I know and have experienced, they generally only go after live food. They hunt by movement. You *could* feed dead if you get them use to tong feeding and you make it look like the food is wiggling. The live food is quite easy to get over. Is your wife put off by the ick factor or does she feel bad feeding live? One is easier to get over than the other. If she feels "bad" feeding live then that is something I can't help with...if it is an "eww" reaction then it is quite easy to get over as you don't have to touch the food. Feeding can be done very easily with out ever having to touch the crickets.
  2. Jen, Please excuse the intrusion, but I really want to start keeping another type of frog other than the 7 ADFS I have in a 46 gal bowfront.
    Have a eco terra low and large that I would like to keep firebelly toads.
    But I don't want to run into the same problem I had when I was keeping whites.
    My wife will not handle or feed live food to my pets.
    So can FBT live haply on frozen blood worms tadpole/frog pellets (non live food)
    thanks
