Breeding pair of toads! :D

[Deku]

What about woodlice for food I have a colony and they are easy to breed all they need is leaf litter, food and a couple of weeks of breeding to get going. When they are young they have soft exoskeletons and are only about 1mm long so after a couple of weeks they will be perfect size. They get nutrients from fruit and vege and there exoskeletons are high in calcium so that will help with bone development.

That sounds great, woodlice are pillbugs are they not? But when the tadpoles turn into toadlets, I don't think the woodlice will be appropriate for them. Because they maybe too big for the toadlets.

I'm not sure what they're called in other countries but this is what I mean I think the baby woodlice should be fine as they are only a couple of mm long.

Could you make me a caresheet for woodlice? I'm going to catch some today. Yesterday I was going to... But.... I didn't manage to find the pond---so we went to a river instead.

Woodlice should be kept in a warm place as they need warmth to get them going but I wouldn't reccomend too much heat and they need about 50/50 sun/shade. They are simple in their needs they just need leaf litter (dead leaves), something to hide under or in like a hollow log or an egg carton. For food I give them fresh fruit and vege and I replace the food every three days and I just let them get on with it. They will need about a 20cm square container and stuff to climb on so the floor doesn't get crowded, sticks are good for this. After 2 weeks they will be going strong and if you do anything wrong it won't really matter as they are hardy critters. Hope this helps if you don't understand anything I'll explain it better if I can.

I put in two types of lettuce and such. I only got apples at my house. I don't like apples so I can take bits of em in there. As for water, do they need a freshwater supply? I think I got in a mix of pillbugs and roley poleys. Both look similar--- but are not the same. I think there's like 10-12 in total of woodlice. My terrarium they're in is a kritter keeper that is long. like 8-9inch longx 6-7inch wide, 4-5inch tall. I forget exact measurements. Is this good enough? I wonder if adult woodlice be good enough to be a staple diet for adult toads. I'm thinking of mixing it up. Worms, lice, and crickets. But not so much crickets. Also moths, and mealworms, waxworms whenever I get em.

I'm hoping to get a culture of roaches eventually. Though Iam not a fan of them.....

Sounds great so far yeah that's a decent size tank. They don't need a water supply as they get water from their food that's why it has to be fresh, they do drink though they have little prong things on their butts which they grab moist food with and suck up the moisture. Also if you find red ones they're rare as research shows they are less accustomed to their surroundings and if you find blue ones leave them as they have a virus which forms blue crystals on the diseased tissue.

I don't know what size your toads will be when fully grown so I couldn't say if they will be a good size for full grown toads.

Okay. They're doing great so far. I just need to get leaflitter. I do have the egg carton. What do I do with it?
