Hey folks. 2 out of my 3 toads seem to prefer burying themselves in substrate (coco fiber) rather than using a hide, so I have taken out the big bark hide and replaced it with a smaller hide that the one not-so-burrowing toad seems to like. My question about the burrowing has to do with feeding. Since all toads but one are underground, how should I handle feeding them? The food (right now either ants or fruit flies) will get out of the cage if it's not eaten promptly, since the lid is a screen. Ideally, should I:

A) dump the food in and hope they come running from their burrows
B) gently dig them up so they are all above ground when I put the food in
C) put them in a separate container for feeding time so they get conditioned to that
D) other

Also, while I know these are mostly "look don't touch" pets, I was wondering how much handling is harmful. Is it mostly the salt and oil on our skin that hurts them, or is it more just the stress of being handled by large creatures they might see as predators? It seems like my toads are fairly used to me now. They don't cringe or seek cover if I walk by, and they don't pee on me when I pick them up. I don't handle them daily, but I was just curious how often you toad owners out there handle your toads, and how much handling is too much? It seems like occasional handling might make them tamer and get them used to it, right?

Also wanted to mention that I got the Repashy ICB+ yesterday, and gave them some fruit flies covered in it. Has anyone else noticed the wonderful sweet banana-like smell that the stuff has? Thanks for any feedback.
