Adorable! Congrats and keep us posted!![]()
Hi everybody, thanks for your comments...
Some updates: metamorphosis complete! Toadlets now eat fruitflies and climb everywhere.. Their belly is yellowish and is getting more and more contrasted... I'm wondering which is the best way to provide pigments to improve the red color.. any suggestion?
Concerning the sex ratio of their parents.. I read somewhere that 2 males and 1 female is a good ratio for breeding. I don't know if my female agrees, sometimes she seems quite annoyed by her partners, but in general things seem to go well. Some short fight and some "mistake" between the males..
Here some pictures of the babies
.
thanks again and see you for more updates!
congrats mate, glad to see they are doing well, with regards to the pigmentation, what i use is a a fish food, that helps colour, feed this to your crickets and it will pass it on, carrots are also high in carotenes. And i believe that t rex do a supplement that you dust the crickets with that also helps colour.
Hope this is helps and good look, keep the updates coming![]()

Firebelly toad babies are a lot of fun! I have had an explosion of fire bellied toad eggs this summer - my 1st experience with it! I didn't plan on it either! I have had many different times of eggs too. I have sold over 100 tadpoles and toadlets, and still have about 100 toadlets left. The tadpoles I fed mainly a super color fish flakes made with seafood, spectrum grow, and tadpole bites. The toadlets seem to like these as well! I also fed both of them frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms. The toadlets love dusted pinhead crickets and fruitflies. They have gone crazy over a few newborn mealworms too. The older they get, they seem to brighten in color with their bellies. They are all brown - do yours have any green pigment? I wonder if they turn green as they mature?
