-- Bufo Alvarius Habitat Question --

no new pics at the moment but I've been trying to switch them over to dog food, I've been feeding the crickets the dog food also carrots then dusting them with vitamins and calcium also with crushed 40 percent protein good corn meal no preservative or bs dog food to get them used to the taste and they've finally accepted sliced in half pieces as crickets tong feeding them, I think I fixed the cost of crickets lol. What do you guys think, I'm not going to switch over to just dog food at once. I gave them each 10 crickets and a half piece of dog food. I figured I'll ease them onto the dog food and see how it works.. anyone have any experience with this

I was told by the lady I got my toads from they could be trained to eat dog / cat food so I have attempted to get them used to the diet. I won't be feeding them this every day but a few times a month would be nice, I still want to offer them a diverse diet, but for the times I don't have any live food or feel like they need a little bit more food this is a nice option. I've read about frogs / toads eating canned cat food but well see if this is viable, I don't want to harm the little guys. I'm monitoring them before I try this endeavor again.

well if u read up on it and it has been done b4 and they seem to accept it and do well on it i think that would be a easy food source i wish my frogs would eat canned food lol my pixies only react to moving things...they even refuse to eat earthworms lol my pacmans the only one that might eat dog food but havent seen anyone on this forum feed thier pac canned dog/cat food so gonna stay with roaches and worms but hope the best for u and ur bufos
