The gang

[kueluck]

I feed these guy every night because they are babies. But since they are so........well cubby, should I feed every other night or just them a few feeders each night. As you can see Abendnego on the right looks like he's gonna pop. I tong feed everyone a few feeders to make sure they are getting the calcium and suppliments they need, then I'll put some in the dish so they can catch them on their own. At times I have to remove Abendnego from the dish because he'll go for a second roach while he still had one in his mouth. Shadrack, the one on the right isn't as aggressive when it comes to food, but still is a good eater.

HAHAHA, to him going after a roach with one in his mouth still! I've been wondering the same thing, about how much to feed. I mean for toads, I've read 3-6 insects every other day. But I don't stick to that. I usually do a calcium dusted earthworm, followed by a regular slime worm, then the next day, or day after, some reptivited roaches. Maybe a few crickets that just won't die. With those, it's about the dusting. It does look like you exchanged your frog for a balloon tho. Long as they're poopin.
All I've noticed from heating one side of tank is that Banjo's appetite has grown. She POUNCES on worms, and anything else. But I'm still worried about her poops. Or lack thereof. Huge poops when they happen, but I wish I was finding them more. Hope the sphagnum moss the nightcrawlers live in and eat aren't constipating her or worse. So hard to know what how much to feed, when a frog never seems full or disinterested. I'm afraid to cut back too much, because, like these, even balloon frog, she needs those supplements.

Everyone poops at least once a day so no worries there. I might just cut back a little on Abendnego a.k.a. Big Green Marble to see if he'll slim down a little. Now my toads don't eat that much. They pop up about once a week, soak, shed, eat, hang out for a few days then go back down again. But when they do come up and poop. HOLY COW!! I always have to show my husband too, just something about a good healthy poop makes me happy.

It's AMAZING what comes out of a little toad's body. Morph has got to be about Banjo's age... Do you know her length? Wouldn't be definitive, cuz as the Smiths's say, "Some girl's are bigger than others", but it might help to compare how often she eats (every day when she's out of burrow?) relative to poops. I'd love to get video of what comes out of her, but she's in a bath right now and although she's done the back leg kicking thing (something she does in her dirt, too, right before pooping), nothing is happening. Except that she's getting mad and I hate this. Her little bum LOOKS like it's starting to expand, pressed against side of bath container, but then nope. I equate pooping with health. Had a thing a few years ago where I just had no appetite at all, almost needed feeding tube, so of course I wasn't doing my business. But I'm not a frog. Maybe LESS food for her would be the way to go. Since she's cold-blooded, maybe pushing things along with more food doesn't work the same way as it does with people. Wish I could just give her a senna and be done with it.
Gonna rinse her off and call it a day. Can't believe this is how I spent my Fri night after work. You know tho, if she succeeded in pooping, it'd be a win.

Words can not explain how much fun these guys are to have around, & they are growing up so fast.


And this is Abendnego. This is beyond amazing cuteness.

The other night while cleaning the WTF tank I noticed that 2 of the 3 have slightly darker throats than the one, that one being Shadrack. Also Meshack and Abendnego call all the time, every night starting around 7 pm. Now I know that most other frogs/toads the male has a darker throat so I'm guessing it's the same with WTF. So if this is the case, and I have a female, I might just try to breed them in a few years, or when ever they are ready. I don't think I would raise them to froglet stage, but send them out when tadpoles to those who want them. But then how could I not keep one, or two of them for myself. I got the 36x18x36 Exo Terra last weekend so I guess I would have room for a few more...........
