New to FB Toads.
Background story:
I've always loved frogs and toads, though I have never owned on. Recently I was away on a family trip when a friend of mine's FB toads for the first time in the many years she had them, laid eggs. My friend didn't know about it until she saw tadpoles swimming around her tank. Knowing how much I love frogs and toads she asked if I wanted some. Since there is 23 babes swimming around I have my pick of them. I'm thinking about 2-5 of them and will be picking them up this weekend.
Now why I am posting:
I have a few questions, mostly because I have never owned a frog or toad and mostly because I always educate myself when it comes to my pets.
1. Is there a cage size to toad ratio? I know with my guinea pigs and my turtle (Yellow Belly Slider) you need X amount of space per. I'm hoping this will give me an idea of how big of a tank I need. I currently have a 20 gallon (tall not long) sitting around but if I need to grab a bigger or smaller one that's ok.
2. I have the information on care and breeding saved but it doesn't go into great detail on feeding tadpoles to adult hood, does anyone have any information on that?
3. What is good substrate to use in the land area. I am going to divide the tank to 50/50. I have some moss and would love to utilize it in the tank set up.
4. Is it ok to rehome the tadpoles before the metamorphose take place?
That's about it for now. I am still googling and reading posts in this section on them
