5 little Bufo Alvarius Toadlings added to the family
Dear Ones,
in this thread I keep you updated on the development of our new family members, 5 little Bufo Alvarius toadlings, captive breeds from south germany. Bought from a vendor in Hannover. Don't know if its allowed to post a link to the site, so please mods delete if so:
The toads come from here: Bufo alvarius - Colorado Kröte DNZ | Kröten & Unken | Amphibien | Tierbestand | Terra-Exotica
They still have 50+ toadlings, if someone from Europe is interested.
So here we go:

Re: 5 little Bufo Alvarius Toadlings added to the family
nice addition to you family, P.O. they will take a lot of feeding over their life time, do you plan to breed them in due course?
Re: 5 little Bufo Alvarius Toadlings added to the family
No, wasn't planning that with my adults, too.
It's already so much responsibility to raise these 5 little guys, I don't want to see hundreds of tadpoles or little toadlings die, which they do even if you put super efforts in. That would be too much, and the costs would be crazy. Cause you're right I'm seeing hundreds of Euros coming for those alone, plus the three big ones I already care for.

I created a Youtube Channel for "my" Toads:

Babies look nice. Do monitor they all eat well; saw one repeatedly missing it's target. Like the smart one at the end that jumps one cardboard and scares the crickets into feeding areas for benefit of all the toads.
Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!

I have been using coco fiber. I was wondering if sand was a better option. Thank you for your advice. The reason for inquiry was because i wanted to use it as a substrate/ filter kind of like a sump on one side with a pump pulling water from the bottom. Aside from impaction issues, would there be any other issues ?
Re: 5 little Bufo Alvarius Toadlings added to the family
If the sand is underwater or the toads cant walk on it then it would be okay. As long as the top layer is digestible substrate or something too large to be swallowed
