    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.

    I did give my toadlets a water dish right away, but it has to be very shallow (below the toad's shoulders) and be something they can easily climb out of. They have always liked to sit in it and soak.

    I imagine you'll find that the toad will bury itself during most of the day, usually in/under the hide because it feels safest there. I've taken to feeding mine just before bedtime, since they are usually all above ground then.

    So far it hasn't buried itself, I think it is still adjusting to the viv. Last night I fed it earlier, but it will get fed around 9 pm every night, the same as my gray tree frogs. It ate 2 fruit flies immediately last night, and again tonight, so it's good to know that it is eating!
