My fiancé got me a Colorado river toad for my birthday and I am super duper stoked. She doesn’t chirp in any way, and she doesn’t have nuptial pads, so I’m guessing she’s a female! She’s 5in SvL, so...

Apologies for being so late to the game. First of all, that is WAY too much salt. Salt doesn't evaporate with the water, so even marine fishkeepers top off with fresh water and don't add salt unless...
I've been feeding earthworms sourced from my backyard, as well as cave crickets that I catch from my grandma's storage room. Her storage room is absolutely infested and since the crickets don't get...
Toad update!! She's about 6-6.5in SVL now and doing just great. We had a cross country move and she handled it like a champ, although we've gone back to square 1 as far as trust is concerned. She's...
I've got tank security covered I think (will be adding a large landscaping brick to the lid to keep him in in the future) but I got to him just barely in time and he'd almost desiccated to death by...
I've just moved to NW Arkansas from NJ. I had a couple awesome local pet stores out there (seriously check out Reptile Roadhouse or Major League Exotic Pets if you're in NJ; both are excellent) I'm...
They also might be fungus gnats, which breed in wet soil and often come in on houseplants. I had that problem with my toad's enclosure; I had to pull all her soil out and replace it. I baked the soil...
What a BEAUTIFUL big girl! Thank you for sharing the video of her! Nice slow-mo! frogsmile It seems like once she decided being in captivity is a good gig, she settled in perfectly. Happy ending to a...
I appreciate it! Sorry I was unclear; the sundew isn't going to go in with her. It's going to be in its own pot in the frog room, providing passive protection to all the tanks. I know that there are...
Awesome! Yeah I've had nothing but good experiences from them, and their customer support is apparently top-notch too, though I've never had to contact them about anything. I don't have the patience...
Awesome to hear your girl is finally eating on her own. It's interesting that she only wanted to eat small bugs. If you need to order bugs online, I have had great experiences with Dubiaroaches.com....
I have a 40B with a cane toad (Rhinella Marina) as well as 2 empty terrariums (10g, 20 long). I moved the empty terrariums to the very cold basement to dry out, and I replaced the substrate in the 40...
Thank you! She's doing great! Growing like a weed; she's about 5-5.5 inches SVL now and getting bolder by the day. I also got confirmation (using this scientific article about sexing cane toads by...
Hello! I brought in a houseplant that apparently had some fungus gnats in the substrate, and they've spread to my terrestrial frog enclosures. How do I get rid of them without harming my frogs? Is it...
Sad news. Blood tests showed liver failure. I could've had him admitted inpatient, but the prognosis was grim even with hardcore intensive treatment and he would've suffered the whole time. I had to...
Got a vet appointment for 3PM today. He's in a critter keeper on a wet paper towel substrate for quarantine, and I'm going to completely gut and redo his enclosure. Thanks folks.
1. Size of enclosure - 20 Long
2. # of inhabitants - Single
3. Humidity - Close to 90%
4. Temperature - High 70s on the cool end, 80s on the warm end
5. Water - type - Tap water dechlorinated...
Never got an answer but I'll post an update-- turns out she was only hiding in the water when I was around. She isn't sick, she was just terrified of me and hiding in the water. I've been leaving her...
I've never had problems with nightcrawlers when feeding any of my critters. IME crickets seem to be more prone to parasites than nightcrawlers are.
Why not work with her and offer nightcrawlers? Nightcrawlers are a fantastic staple, highly nutritious, and chitin-free.
I just got a new cane toad two days ago. I was hoping for a CB one but she's actually WC from Florida where they're invasive. She had a tick on her when she arrived (promptly removed) and no other...
That's a cute little African Clawed Frog! I'd say he's too little to tell the sex as of yet, but when he gets a bit older, if he starts developing black patches on his forearms and singing, you've...
Bit of a long shot since I live in the US. Is anyone breeding these guys? Could I get them imported without spending hundreds of dollars?
I've had good success dusting feeders, but there's no harm in gutloading as well, as long as you keep the animal protein down like you said. I feed my dubias a variety of fresh veggies as well as a...
Probably not MBD then assuming your toads eat the feeders right away. I'm assuming you're using dechlorinator for the water you use when you mist the enclosure? Letting it sit out lets chlorine gas...
