How long do you guys think itll be before the newly metamorphosed(no tails anymore-- but the size of a penny or like 2/3'rds of a penny) grow big enough to eat small to medium sized crickets? I guess more or less... how long is it before they get 1.5inch long or 2inch long?
Can I speed up growth? When do they get their "colors" in. Like they're all the same colors right now. So you know how some are red, some brown, some mottled, some green and black and yellow, some black, some golden honey, some light yellow, etc. etc. etc.
When can I expect those colors/patterns to show up?
Also wonder.. Since one of the parents colors was dark red(crimson-ish but lighter and lesser of it-- just a regular red toad) and the other one was kinda like a bullfrog pattern. Where the top is olive green and the bottom is yellow(no it was a toad with the pattern of a bullfrog. seriously--- I couldn't believe it myself...) What are the chances of expecting some to have bright patterns like really bright reds or the same bullfrog pattern on the male? OR will the toadlets just be a random bunch of colors/patterns?
Btw. You know that saddle that some of the toads get?

Do all toads get it? or is it just females? Cause I have a toad I think is a female since it never chirps and its fat as heck and has tons of warts that looks like t his:

In body shape. But its more of a mottled brown kinda looks hazelnut-ish will she/he keep that shape? While the male has the same shape as that and he tried to mate. And etc. I'm not a fan of the hump. I won't condemn them for having one. Lol. But just "preference" i guess. I guess since Iam just going to sell them off to a few stores(they wanted me to wait until they're bigger-- atleast like an inch or two in size since they don't carry fruit flies and don't wanna go through that trouble). I guess I could just pick my preference out of the "lot" of them. Ya' know?
