thanks for the welcoming to the site. If you look at our pictures there is actually two different habitats. At first I just used a ten gallon aquarium but when I found our grant sponsors loved what we had done and that the kids wanted to keep them we made a new habitat in a twenty gallon aquarium. The kids love telling their parents what they learned about the toads and they now correct anyone, including teachers, who call them frogs. This was the only reason I started this project(because they kept calling them frogs). They love the idea that we can tell if they are boys or girls now. I even have my early morning toddlers helping me keep the water bowl clean and the toads fed. They love watching the toads bury themselves and then pop their heads up. We have had them since April and we line up to go outside at 8am at 8:30am the kids go to their daytime class while I take the pill bugs in to the toads with one or two of the students. It is so funny how the toads actually line up in the aquarium when we do at the door and are waiting the minute I come back inside. They also come out to watch the students watch them or to watch them play and then go back to their hiding spots until the kids come back into the room in the afternoon. Thank you for the vitamin dust info my sister actually has some from her lizard and is going to give it to me Monday. The hardest part is keeping the dirt moist since we turned the heat on. The kids want to know if the toads hibernate in the winter?
