    Default Re: Found Baby Toad

    Not being able to see the little one it is hard to know what size you mean when you say little.

    When my babies morphed I fed them springtails and other tiny bugs I caught with a net in the tall grass of my field (I live on a farm).
    Then I fed them flightless fruit flies.
    Now that they are about big enough to fit on a nickle, I feed them small isopods, baby roaches, and pin head crickets.

    I like keeping my babies on paper towel and I keep a towel over top the entire container because the little ones do freak out easily. But being toads, once they know you are the food source, it's very likely they will calm right down and expect food every time they see you.

    I covered his whole enclosure, and I check on him every couple hours, I kinda measured him today, he is 2/3 of an inch, he is big enough to fit on a nickle.

    I am keeping small pill bugs in his enclosure and I gave him a few pin head crickets yesterday.

    Every time i do check on him he does freak out. I do believe he is eating. He pooped yesterday and I noticed there wasn't as many pill bugs. And with the crickets, he has one left, but two died that i removed from his enclosure and I through in 7, I only seen one left.

    I do know they can escape because I saw one crawling on my shoe. But he does look healthy, and fat.

    Do you just order flightless fruit flies online?

    You can order the flies online if your local pet store doesn't have any healthy cultures, but at that size you can feed pinhead crickets or xtra small roaches. I like this place for flies, and it's just down the road from you Buy Flightless Fruit Flies, Fruit Fly Cultures and Supplies. I get the flies here when I have newly morphed frogs/toads.
