Re: My first bumblebee toad
Congrats on your awesome toads dude!. I have had 4 BBWT for a little over 6 months. At first I was buying flies and small crickets but unfortunately the local petstores are not with supplying small food. These little toads have huge appetites I think mine were very hungry when I bought them they ate a few crickets and even ate the heads off of crickets when they couldn't fit them in their mouths. However once I introduced them to fruit flies they were not interested in crickets anymore. I have followed the recipe in this forum to make a batch of fruit fly culture medium and I have saved alot of money doing this. I feel better not depending on the petshop to supply the food because I don't ever want my toads to be as hungry as they were in the petshop. Here's a tip make a batch of media using the potato flakes and poweder milk recipe on this forum(I use whole milk powder baby formula Instead as its loaded with vitamins). Then pack it into individual 2oz plastic containers like the salsa they give you at Mexican food restaurant. Then freeze them. This way you can start each culture a week or two apart and you will never run out of food or time to make a culture again. This method saved me so much time and I thank everyone in this forum for all their input it really helped me. Have fun with your little hunters and thanks for sharing the pics. I can't wait to get more of them next season :]
