Some pics of the girls

I've noticed my little toadlet toe tap while he's hunting as well. It's like he's just so excited to chase down crickets he can't hold still =p

It's so cute, and on a toadlet, knock me over! Banjo (uki too) are already adorable when fixated on prey, but when she wiggles her toes, it's almost too much. "Gonna eat that gonna eat that gonna eat it eat it eat it" is what I imagine she's thinking and maybe tapping a beat.

I have pics I wanted to post of their new water bowl and hide cave, but apparently I can't upload. Maybe this will work....

I love your toads!!!! Cant wait to see mine toe wiggle, sounds so cute! I found a little quarter size toad this spring. I'm feeding him on small crickets, giant springtails, bean beetles ( that he loves), and pill bugs. I currently have so many springtails I have no idea what to do with them all. They are very easy to keep, let me know if you need the details got mine from bugsincyberspace, cheap.

Hey Crystal, how's the T. girls? Didn't know if maybe them have gone down for the winter or not.

Hey Crystal, how's the T. girls? Didn't know if maybe them have gone down for the winter or not.

They're both well, fat and active, but not as nutty aggressive as over the summer. I got moss for them as well as new hide and soaking bowl, and furniture was a hit but working so much it took some time to get moss in there. Uki was fine with it but Banjo refused to sit or burrow unless I cleared a space for her. So, perfectly good moss, tossed. That lil girl has the final silent say.

My father died last month. It's almost not right to say it was unexpected, but it really was. Dialysis related blood infection. He survived a massive stroke, kidney failure, and had an implanted defibrillator. Over the last 8yrs. He coded, they revived him, but unconscious, he went into cardiac arrest and they couldn't bring him back. I swear that if he hadn't been unconscious, he would still be alive. My dad was a fighter, a survivor. I got a lot more than the genetic disease from him. That's my takeaway.
So I had to go home for 3 days (home is NJ) and fed toads til they just sat swallowing, full, left fresh water, had Paul peek at them, and they were fine.

Right before all that, Walmart had NO worms, so I panicked that they weren't getting more so bought dubia and mealworms. Walmart did restock, (turns out my complaint that they were mostly moldy got things moving, yeah go me!) but the gals were roach happy up until yesterday when I ran out. I hid them, in box and container they arrived in, so sort of in plain sight... Felt bad, cuz he doesn't want roaches in his house, but at the time, I felt I didn't have a choice. Fatties gotta eat.

I really miss my breeding dubia. Someday, some way... Cuz with no bug faces to feed, my carrots go bad. Not breeding creepy crawlies is just wasteful.

Thanks for inquiring about them; I've meant to update, but I don't get email notifications anymore, so tonight I just wandered over here on a whim. Ought to do that more often.

So sorry to hear about your Dad passing. It's hard losing a family member no matter what the circumstances are, weather it be better for the individual or not. But on a good note........B-flat, happy to hear the girls are doing good.

I wonder why you aren't getting e-mail notices on the threads you're subscribed to? Unless you accidentally clink on the unsubscribe link, I've done that before when in a rush. Guess you need to go back and do some input on some threads to see if that will reboot it.

Some time between last night and this afternoon, Ukulele passed away. I was hoping she was maybe hibernating, above ground but under log hide. Banjo was right next to her, but she is fine. Banjo was the last one to eat a worm and I should have known then.
I don't know how old she is/was, but old enough to have been gravid. Was a chubby little thing. Not that little really. The guy I adopted he from had had her for 4-5yrs, and found her in NH woods. Always ate like a champ.
When I held her, I thought, hey she's breathing, but it was just my hand shaking. Opened her mouth, nothing stuck in there, tho her tongue was white.
Changed Banjo's dirt, and Uki is in a box with dirt, hoping she'll wake up but her eyes are closed... Waiting for a thaw on Fri to bury her. Post-mortum pics coming, I apologize in advance...

I'm very sorry for Ukulele's death Crystal !
