I know my Cure.

It's good to see other people raising toadlets.

Can toadlets overeat? Tad is such a cow I dropped a few fruit flies in this morning in within a split second he has one of the other smaller toadlets half way down his throad. I gave him a flick or two and he spit the toadlet back out! the other guy acted scared and didnt eat for a while but seems ok.
I'm going to get crickets. flies just arent enough for them, especially tad. just want to know if I should feed them till they stop eating or can they overeat and die?

I find that they lose interest when they get full. I'm not sure it's possible to overfeed a toad. I've heard other people say "feed them for 15 minutes" but mine usually get full before that, so it's kind of a moot point.

If Tad is so big that he is able to swallow the other toadlets, you might want to move him into another container.

just an update, my 4 toads are doing great. all are very active and love to soak, borough a little, and eat a lot! I'm out of crickets and have been working so many hours the pet store is closed by the time I get off work. I've been spending about $15/week on crickets for these pigs!! I have a 16 year old leopard gecko and she eats crickets and was wondering if I can let the toads eat them up too since I buy them in bulk cause they last forever in the fridge?? maybe dust the worms and chop them in half if they are too big? also wanting some advise on cheaper crickets. when I caught these tadpoles months ago I thought they will be the cheapest pet ever, free! so much for that idea about $200 later, lol!
