Catching their Food?

[firefly]

Thnkyou Hyla. Yes I don't really like crickets much, one of my little toads has toes missing from his hind foot and the petshop keeper suggested it could well be that crickets have eaten them (turns my stomach). The crickets I have are very small (2-3 instar?) but they give me the heeby jeebys. I think I'll stick to hoppers, much nicer.

Wouldn't placing them in a seperate container freak them out? It would be easier to do this if it would work.

Your welcome. As for the freaking out part I guess it would depend on the frog itself. I tried that with mine a few times but she just ignored the food and tried climbing out. I know others on here do it that way and it works for them. It wouldnt hurt to try!

Just thinking about this, are you sure the crickets are small enough for the toads? Is it warm enough to simulate their appetites? (these toads like it warmish)
