Newbie FBT with questions

Hello Speedy and welcome to FF ! Have you had a chance to read the forum's care article for your frogs: Frog Forum - Fire-Bellied Toad Care and Breeding - Bombina orientalis and relatives. Hum, can see frogs resembling Beetles and Pintos; but a Shelby... !

Thanks. I did read the care sheet (that was also one of the articles I read on these guys before I decided on them). I am not trying to breed them, I just wondered if they are happy enough if they were going to do it, regardless of the cool down period or not. I think I am feeding them way more than the pet store was, they were thin and boney looking, now they are plumped up. Just wondered if I am overfeeding, or if they stop eating when they are not hungry.

He picked the name Shelby because she (or so I think it's a she) is long and sleek, she has less bumps on her back. Pinto was very scrawny at first and Beetle is short and really fat.

i usually dust twice a week, and feed every other day (on average)

i ony have two, but when i feed i throw in anywhere from 4-6 crickets (small), and when i do feed mealworms, i put in 3-4 worms per each frog. i personally would rather happy chubby frogs, then skinny boney ones. lol

Thanks! I think one of my questions got answered if this is an egg...
