    Default Re: Uh Oh. Gonna have babies

    I am buying them exclusively large crickets, as I find the small crickets just are not much of a meal. I still have some smallish toadlets, in fact some are quite small and apparently are behind the others. Yet...I see that these smallest of my toadlets have no problem downing the largest of crickets. It's comical and somewhat frightful. You'd think that a toad that is about the size of a cricket could not do it. But the toadlet stretches. I have seen only one toadlet 'abort' a meal that was too large. I am stunned at how they can expand to fit their food.

    One interesting fact is that the frog/toad is the "lowest" animal that evolved a vomit reflex. This is the first animal that could puke.
    No doubt this is a survival instinct to be able to puke up either items that are too large or are not digestible.

    But, my, these things do love their crickets. Much, much more so than any other food.

    Some of the adults do not like the dusted crickets. These adults get extra vitamins, as they always end up with a mouthful of dust whether or not they swallowed the prey.

    The PacMan frog I had was "is he gonna eat today". The FBT tank is "how many are you willing to feed them because they'll eat it if you give it to em".

    They will occasionally get excited about food and strike at my fingers. Cute little mouths with no teeth and a sticky tongue.

    I am getting lots of enjoyment out of this tank of frogs.
