First Toad - some questions

[Ajuki]

Thanks everyone for the compliments on my tank

amazing transformation from the first tank to the second... well done! i personally have 2 in a 5gal/prism shaped type of tank, and they get along just fine with that amount of space. thank goodness mine dont climb! lol log the caption, spider frog! spider frog!

ive had my toads for over 7 months, and i still feed them small crickets. generally rule of thumb is the distance between the eyes. but even if you go a tiny bit over, its not that big of a deal. i throw in on average 4-6 crickets every other day.

Thanks. Houdini doesn't climb anymore but Copper still will when I'm changing the water out. I have to keep the screen resting on the other side of the tank when I'm in there lol

I had some medium crickets at one point because it was all I could get at the time and he would eat one (maybe 2) every few days. However I seem to be a GREAT cricket keeper because half of them grew wings. :O. I got him some tinys and he's actually hunting now. I have a little food bowl for the crickets and he stakes it out. So cute. Copper swooped up all the not-quite-large ones the first night I got them (thank goodness).

great to hear!

usually in my case, i only have the option of small or large at the petstore... so i get small.. and every now and then i cant go through them fast enough, and they do grow wings... lucky for me, i also have a turtle that loves large crickets... who think they can run fast enough to get away from her.... LOL now thats a sight to see!

I'll have to keep that in mind next time some get too big. My BF has a few turtles....
