My toad is about the size of a SD memory card, or your thumb.
How much should I feed her?
Today, after her missing a grasshopper twice, I picked her up and set her down directally in front of an "injured" (I took off it's back legs... I actually felt sorry for it, but I guess the toad didn't...) grass hopper, I expected it to just hop away all scared from being handled and ignore the food, but after staring at it moving around for 30 seconds she grabbed it!

I notice with her, she's not aggressive going after her food, she hops up to it untill she is about 3 inches from it, then lowers herself to the floor, and "crawls" up to it sloooowly... then tries to get it with her tongue, the last time she did that, she caught the grasshopper, but because it still had it's back legs it managed to jump away.
So, my main point of all this was, how many grasshoppers should I feed her, there about .50" to .75" (Or for us canadian frogforumers' 1 to 2cm) in length, so she dosen't have a problem eating them, I've only managed to get her to eat one taday, and none yesterday. Will feeding her get easier over time, like she will eat on her own, and will not have to be coaxed by me?
Thanks![]()
