I'm actually surprised at myself I am considered an expert on frogs and toads by my friends and family.

I have a toadlet that morphed 2 1/2 weeks ago, and he didn't eat anything for about two days after coming out of the water. I still had food available though. Get a flightless fruit fly culture from Petco. Dump some flies in the tank, and make a "screen" of some sort to go over the top so the flies can't escape. I am using some sheer panty hoes that I cut and tied, then I put the top over that. Then just leave them be. They will eat when they are ready.

Honestly I think small crickets should be fine for them. I have several species of toads, and they all eat crickets readily. When I've had small toadlets previously that had a hard time eating, what I would do is move them to a separate cage during feeding time and put a few crickets in there. That way I know they've been fed. Good luck with your toads, they look darling!

Fruit flies, pinhead crickets but the best choice would be red runner roaches.
