Hi there: I've got three small Cane toads, had them about seven months or so. They were caught in the Miami area and do okay. I've got them in a large Tupperware container with a hiding box and water...

Bill: Good point....I was just thinking with the bioactivity, it would be more natural for the frog, and after the initial setup, less maintenance.......But I wasn't aware of the cycling process....

Bill: So can you give me a procedure for cycling the ADA soil....And, if the isopods and springtails handle the solid waste, what about the urine?.....While this seems very interesting, I have NO...

That bioactive soil sounds interesting......Currently I use Eco Earth....My take on reading the replies is it's more natural, and will decompose the frog feces, thus you have a stable...

Thanks, I was thinking something like that along those lines that osmosis played a part, and you know much more about this than I do. I'll soak my frogs tomorrow, but it'll be in a quart size...

That's pretty interesting....Which brings up several questions:
1. "4 - 6 drops of honey" in how much water?....It would seem there isn't a critical concentration 2. Since honey is mostly fructose,...

Justin: I'm looking to get a couple toads also.....Where did you get yours?
What size did you get?
Thanks
Lloyd

Well, once a month is fine…From what I read of your initial post, I just assumed it was a staple, sorry. As far as the toad spitting it up, is it soft or the dry food? I would think if it’s dry and...

Well, while dog food is a great staple……..for dogs, I don’t think it would be best for a cane toad. Yes, I’ve read where they come to the back porch of houses in Australia and eat the dog food out of...

Excellent answer, Brian!.....The Cl doesn’t seem to have affected the toad after a year, so while the Cl MAY have long term affects, it would seem prudent to add something to the water to remove the...

The Eco earth works pretty good, I have adult pacmans in 10gal tanks and an subadult African bull frog in a 10 gal....I change their substrate about once a month...I do spray down the Eco earth every...

That's interesting....Can you tell me what the honey does?..You state "Add 3 to 4 drops of honey."......Into how much water?....... Are there foods that are prone to create impaction? I'd like to...

Thanks!....I appreciate that. Not to beat this horse to death, but trying to determine how "healthy" Yusuke's pacman food is, will take a LOT of data....There are so many variables when dealing with...

Hi, and thanks for your reply. While Zoo Med used the concept I doubt they used your formula. Which brings up a few questions.


How is your product better than the Zoo Med food?
You list D3...

How do silkworms compare to hornworms with regard to nutritional value?...I think the hornworms get a lot bigger, thus your adult frogs would only need a few as compared to a lot of silkworms.....Not...

Thanks, Carlos: I hope it's that simple...

Well, a couple of the frogs have this white fungus(?) growing on the coconut fiber. I scrapped it off, and turned over the substrate to aerate it. Is the suspect fungus a symptom of doing something...

Those ARE nice frogs...Actually, every pacman I see I think as pretty....Some more so than others, but they're all really neat. I see you have a pretty good sized collection of them...I currently...

Hey Mike: Any update on that gel food?....I've been using that dried pacman food from the Japanese guy.....Seems to work on the aggressive feeders but not the picky guys....I think you said you used...

Hey Bill: Yeah, too bad those neat pet shop went the way of honest politicians....Oh, I'm sorry, there never was an honest politician....Okay, how about Dodo birds?
I've been going to...

Ah!....Good question......My other pastime, besides Herpetculture, is long distance running. So I get up at 3:30, out the door at 4 then back at about 5:30....Shower, eat, and in work by 7. My...

Thanks Lija and Grif: Appreciate the feedback....Sorry for some of the confusion on the fish tank lights then jumping to the frog lighting....You were able to figure out through my not so clear note,...

Ha!..........Small world......My buddy and I would go to the end of Orthodox St., right by the river, down in Bridesburg and there were these big rain water "ponds" and we'd scoop up daphina for our...

Hello everyone, need some direction:
My Pacmen and African bullfrog are all together, each in their separate tanks in the one room. During the day the lights from the three large (40, 55, 75 gal.)...

Thanks Bill: I was going to do that....I just thought, and probably wrongly so, that this would be more relevant, but then, as you said, the pacman experts, and those much more knowledgeable than me,...
