Does anyone know what kinds of frogs and toads of the north america can ussually be found on the hamburg reptile expo?
Glades carries quite a bit and they will be there.
Do they treat their animals for parasites? Or do I have to personally do that? Im thinking of getting oak toads. Aslong as they arent overly priced. What is the oak toad price range? Little dimples are so cute! Makes me just wanna hug em, though I cant. XD sorry lack of sleep has put me in a weird mood.
P.s. how hardy are these toads? What can I expect from them? Can I put in a water feature for them?
Some vendors deworm, most don't. I would ask Glades if they do. They will know more than I in this case. As far as their care see Toad Basic Care
Hopefully glades does. Btw are these people friendly? i always have a bad association to people who sell animals as rude, ignorant and obnoxious. Im that kind of person that even if I want something badly my pride says no to someone whose very rude to me. But anywho, the toad care sheet is not really specific. What types of food should I be feeding?
The vendors at the show have answered the same (dumb) questions over and over and are probably just tired of it. Go in to the show having already done your research, have specific questions and tell them up front if you are intending to buy or not. If the booth is packed with people and you REALLY want to talk but not buy, wait for the vendor to be a little less busy. Sometimes just standing and listening what the vendor is telling other people can be informative. Remember, they are there to sell, sell, sell as in make money not provide lessons. IF you are there to buy, that is the time for them to give you the best info they have.
the only questions ill prolly have would be:
1)Are these healthy?<---Extremely important
2)De-wormed?
3)How old are these?
4)Genders?<---important
5)Price?<----Important question
6)Do these come with a guarantee?
7)And most importantly, what are you feeding these currently?<---Most important question off all so I can follow that diet and if I wanna make changes Id do it slowly.
All reasonable questions.
Good cause I aint buying scoot from them untill they answer it and I can tell that they arent lying. xDDD I dont want to have a problem like my cane toad is having atm. In otherwords I dont want to get bs. You know? I want a fair deal for a fair price. I do believe they SHOULD deworm them, because all they have to do is just take it to a reptile/amphibian vet and they take a whole group of amphibians at once for just a single price! I found that out because I called someone(near nyc). They said for breeders they will openly do that. For keepers only in small groups and has to be same animal. So to be honest all they have to do is just take em there and maybe raise the price by a couple of bucks because if they are breeders the money makes it self by doing that. 3-5extra dollars for a toad that costs 15bucks and sell like say 100of them. You know they would be making money.
Most vendors don't deworm their stock and the ones that do, do it themselves.
