Possibly 3 new FBT's tomorrow.. Questions!!

[clownonfire]

I personally wouldnt wanna feed them bugs from outside either. I totally understand about that. Ill pick up some earth worms as well as crickets. Ill feed them both . (I gutload my mealworms and crickets when I get them so no worries about that lol)
I have calcium without the D3 in it for my leopard geckos. would this be ok to dust the crickets with? Or should I pick up some with D3 in it?
And for mealworms. Would they be ok to give frequently? Or should I occasionally give them to the toads if they like them? I wasnt sure how the shell would effect the toads. Thanks so much for the reply though!

For mealworms, I tried a few times, but my FBT don't seem to care about them because they do not move a lot. Also, they are a bit harder to digest because of their harder shell. I use Zoo Med's Reptivite with D3. I'm not certain about yours. I'll let the pro speak on this one!

Ok well I got them all today. I have to say... Wasnt to happy with the whole setup. Not only did they have the 3 FBT's in with the ACF... The whole setup was set up for water frogs. No land.. I have them in a temporary setup right now in a 10 gallon aquarium. I do plan on re doing the whole tank, so dont worry . All three toads are bright green. The ACF seems very healthy as well. Kinda dirty(the tank was pretty nasty) but I cleaned out the whole 5 gallon tank and tossed all the gravel because it was nasty. Hes in a bare 5 gallon for now until I can get decorations and hide areas for him. I fed the FBT crickets and they where really going at them! lol I love watching them eat now

This is the FBT setup right now. I have allot of plans for it though for re modeling


And heres a closeup pic of one of them. Not the best but you can see how green they are

I'm sure they will be very happy with you. If you have questions on ACF, you should contact Jenste. I'm sure she will be happy to help you with the best setting

Can't wait to see the new FBT's enclosure. Remember, lots of water, some land, and live plants if you can!

I just divided the tank. now the long wait for the drying and what not lol! I ended up spliting it half and half. I think the water side is like 1 cm wider lol. I got more coco fiber for the toads and my leopard geckos today. Ill get some moss when I get my paycheck. I just need to figure out how to layer it. I was some of those Hydro Balls at the per store and thought about using it as the1st or 2nd bottom layer?

Also, I deff at least have 1 male Ive been hearing barking every day since I got them lol

[Psychotic4mb3r]

Well theres the tank. I still need to get a few more things to put in it like the hydro balls for the bottom layer of the soil and some moss to put on top of the coco fiber so its not as messy.(I kinda wish I would have made this with a 20 gallon aquarium instead of the 10 gallon haha) I found a filter and put it in the water but im wondering if its making too big of a current? Or maybe they dont mind it? One toad dont seem to mind it, hes already in the water chilling on a leaf haha. Its surprising how much one of the toads have fattened up. Well they all have visibly put on weight but one is a chunky butt lol. I heard a weird bark this morning(but not like the normal bark) and looked in there and one toad was wrapped around another really tight and wouldnt let go.
I got some night crawlers and cut them in sections and tried feeding them the worms.. As soon as they got them in there mouth, they spit it out lol. So I think its safe to say that they dont like them. They eat the mealworms ok but im only going to give them mealies occasionally.
Any other suggestions?

Amber, looks great. Minor changes I would do: give them more place to hide on the land, they will enjoy that. As for food, feed them crickets. Your frogs will like to hunt them. And they won't spit them out.

Also, if you can, remove all fake plants and replace them with real ones.

Great job!!
