-- Bufo Alvarius Habitat Question --

[xtheanon]

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

Anyone have any idea about sex ? Please answer with letter under picture.

I honestly have no clue about sexing but I've read adult males have a pad on on their front appendages that allow them to grasp the female while mating, I know all three of mine do not have it so I'm guessing I have three females.

really nice setup, I'm jealous. Is that a gravel filter in the water side ? how often do you need to clean it ?

[traveler]

Thank you
I dont know how often I need to clean it as it's working second day yes

it's undergrawel filter but conected to external filter 1000l with 9w UV light plus booster for better filtration and more space for good bacteria growing. The problem was with sediment on top layer of water. All filters for aquarium have that floater what collecting as well top layer but it need to be deep water to work well. I did put 3cmx3cm china water pump 1cm below the water level to pump all sediment under the undergrawel filter if I want to clean top of it and it's working well.
