Both were in fridge butter door and I tried storing them in plant window thinking temperature would be better. That didn't work either. I now have earthworms for them instead. Your tank sounds really nice and your frogs are older than mine and I wondered how long they can live? Yeah, I thought they were frogs instead of toads. They are funny to watch, especially feeding time. Oh, and how big do they get?
I believe that mine are full grown at 2-1/2" to 3" and I've read that they live up to 15 years. I'm almost a grandmother--hope I live that much longer! LOL. Do you know about dusting their food with a calcium supplement? it's necessary for their diet or they will not be healthy. And you'll find that they all have their own individual personalities. I tried to upload some pics here but wasn't successful. If you go to my profile page & look at the album "Red Bellies" Lulu is on the bottom left and she does the cutest things. The bottom right is Motley who is the rascal of the group. the pics of my tank are out of date, I have a lot more plants now & a different layout. I don't know if you can see this in the photos, but I have a piece of cypress (it doesn't rot or mold) with a hole drilled part way up & a hose inserted from a small circulating pump at the other end of the water side. It keeps the water well circulated & looks nice. The frogs like to hang around there & sometimes climb on it. Good luck and have fun with your little guys Hoppity.
