Toad Tadpole with back legs

Happy for ya. I have 10 of these little critters and they are little eatin' & poopin' machines. Gotta love the toad!!

So how's the baby doing?

[YogaFrog]

He is great, thanks! He is getting so big, and his appetite is increasing. I am having to put more and more FF in, but I don't think he is quite big enough for pinhead crickets yet. He is so much fun to watch! How are your little ones? I see you have had a recent loss... My condolences! What happened?

Good to hear your little is doing well. I would pass on the pinhead crickets and go for the extra small red roaches from Turkistan Roaches (Blatta Lateralis). More meat, no smell and most of all, they won’t bite your toad!! Rosie, my female was egg bound which means she couldn’t pass the eggs or resorb them back into her system. This happens to 10% of amphibians. It was a very sad week, but with time comes healing. These are some of my tiny toads now, there is a total of 10. The tiny tiny ones are on springtails, even the ff are to big for them.

Sorry to hear about Rosie! Your little ones are very cute! Question: how do I know if I am feeding too much or too little? He looks good and is growing, and he always finishes all the flies I put in (aside from maybe one or two), but do they eat until the are full or do they eat out of opportunity?

Thanks, Rufus just hasn't been the same since she's been gone. I know that amphibians don't feel emotion like we do, but he is definitely feeling something. He spends a lot more time underground and doesn't eat as much. My hope is these little ones will grow fast so they can become tank roomies with Rufus. About the little ones, I feed them in the morning and after work and I let them eat how much they want, except I've got one little piggy that will over do it and I block it from some of the food so the others can get their share. As long as what is going in is coming out your little one should be fine. Just make sure that you seen some poop in between feedings.

poor Rufus! That is so sad.

So, I looked at the website that sells those roaches you told me about, and it said they are out of stock of all three options...does that happen often? Any other place to buy them? Wasabi is pretty big now and he is eating the fruit flies faster than they are hatching!
