Toadlet Help

[LilyPad]

Okay...one of my 10 gallon tanks has become a toadlet tank. Apparently the toad tadpoles we released a while back (a month ago??) have grown legs, and they are itty bitty teeny weeny little toads. I am going to go buy some flightless fruit flies but do you have any other advice? What do I do for a water dish with such a tiny toad? Any plants? I only let the kids keep ONE because I didn't want another handful right now, and it was pretty dang cute so tiny and bitty!!

I did read the toad basic care sheet, so I have a 10 gallon tank, with coco fiber substrate, and a log hide.

No water dish - that will be instant drowning death right now. Any old cover objects will do. Just make sure to dust the flies regularly with supplements.

Thank you John. I have reptocal and reptolife for the frogs, I figured that would work fine for the baby toad.

Here is the toadlet. It happily munched 2 dusted fruit flies pretty quickly. You can kind of get the size of it, those two white dots in the front are fruit flies!

Springtail cultures will help too. They are smaller than the flies.

I have some springtails in my other tank, I might grab a handful of substrate out of that one and try to encourage them to breed in the toad tank.
