Enoch the Western Toad.

[Greatballzofire]

Hi Greatballzofire!

I've done that too, but my concern is that our neighbors (and I, on occasion) spray their lawns, and so I have been worried about pesticides, herbicides, etc. What I'd like to do is start a culture and raise them myself so I know they're clean... In my youth, I always fed a range of wild-caught insects, isopods, etc., and I never had a problem with MBD, etc.

Cheers!
Greg

They are pretty easy to grow. You could grow your own and not have to worry about contamination.

Thanks for the isopod link Greatballzofire! I'm going to set that up!

Looks great, love its colors.

Thanks Eel Noob-I find the colours and pattern rather neat as well. Greg, I will use the Reptivite for now. Enoch has yet to pass up food, so I am hoping that he or she won't even notice...like slipping mashed brussel sprouts into mac and cheese.....the kids won't notice...right?!?
