    Default When are toads/frogs considered adult

    At what age or size are Fowler Toads and Cope's Grey Tree Frogs considered adults? I'm curios when I can slow down on the feeding or do I just keep offering until they don't accept. I feed in the am and then in the pm w/tweezers to make sure everyone is eating something.

    I would go by size rather than age. However, young adults are not necessarily as big as the size ranges quoted in books, etc. I bet you probably have a feel on how big they are now if you were to think about it. If they're not young juveniles, you don't need to feed them twice a day (or every day for that matter).

    John thanks for the response but that really doesn't answer my question. The toads are from this spring, the size of a quarter 8-1-11. The frogs raised from tadpoles, morphed early August. Since both species are aggressive eaters it's hard for me to tell if they are getting enough or to much. I'm a first time keeper of the amphibians and just to make sure I'm doing this right. As for size the male toad (dark throad & chirps) is 2.5" snout to vent, the other is 2" (maybe female). The frogs are 1.25" & I have no idea what sex they are.
