    Dalton's got you pointed in the right direction, another thing you can do is drop some pin-head crickets in their tank. Amphibians love to hunt, escpeially FBT's. One of my american toads wouldn't eat on it's feeding mat, so I dropped 5 crickets in at night and they were all eaten by the morning. You could also try VERY small feeder fish, that is, if you have an aquatic set-up, or a slightly larger than normal water dish. FBT's are in their element when there in water, so to hunt in water would be even better. Could you post a photo of your set-up please?

    Sure, this photo hasn't got them in (I didn't want to scare them any more!) so this is one I took just before I got them. It's an old fish tank I'm using. It's about 10-12 gallons. I have put a small water dish under the brach at the back from when the little ones wouldn't come out and I was worried about it getting dehydrated.

    You could try putting some small guppies in the water dish.

    I'll try that if it doesn't eat in a few days! I'll give it a little while to calm down first. Your toad is really cute by the way! (:

    Will do! If the worst happens I have a very good exotic animal specialist vet quite close to me. Your frog is simply adorable by the way! Thanks for the help, I was just panicking I was caring for them completely wrong and it was really ill. I'll leave them alone for a few days and get smaller crickets! I'll just give the spares to my lizard (:
