Feeding guppies...

[Jace]

I just picked up a copy of "Reptiles" magazine and it had a couple of pages on Fast Facts about Oriental Fire-Bellied Toads. It stated that guppies can be part of the diet and I was wondering if anyone else fed guppies to their toads? Is it a healthy part of a diet, or should it be more like an occassional treat?

No harm in it but I wouldn't make them a staple - treat only.

I'm thinking about adding guppies or some other fishes into my FBT setup so I might find a few missing every now and than.

I'm just worried about possible parasites in the fish. I don't want anything passed on to the frogs that would be harmful...

Feeder fishes are some of the most mistreated animals out there so they're usually always not in the best of health. Quarantining or breeding your own feeders would be the best options.

Hmmmm, that sounds like more work than I want to have right now.....
