Please help, I'm confused!


I have just got my FBT's today - 3 in a 60L 60/40 split setup, but am confused about how many crickets to feed. The cricks I've got are probably around 1cm or so long.

I'd read you only need to feed 3 or 4 twice a week per toad, but the shop I got them from said one toad would go through a box of crickets in a week (there must be a good 70 - 100 in a box!!) but this sounds a lot to me.


So far today, I gave them 3 each, can you recommend how many to feed (I'm told the FBT's are adult size) each toad and how often, like do they need to be fed every day, every other day, twice a week??

Also, the shop said dusting with calcium is not necessary, and don't need to supply water/bug gel as long as I gut load them with moist food like carrot and apple - is this correct?


Please help, as I now have 3 toads to look after, but the man in the shop has confused me with feeding, and I don't want to under or over feed my new little toadies!!
