Hi,
I'm wondering if there are any toad people out there that might be able to answer a couple of questions for me.
A few months ago or so I ended up becoming a toad mom to 6 abandoned Fire Belly Toads. I've never had any sort of amphibian pet before so everything has been a learning experience for me, but as best as I can tell I have 3 males and three females. So sure enough after having them for about two months they spawned eggs.
The tadpoles started emerging from the water during the August long weekend. I now have about 55 little baby toads that are rapidly consuming fruit flies (that I have been cultivating myself) and have just recently been able to eat some really really small crickets.
Question 1) at what age/size will these little guys be able to be re-homed? They are super cute but 55 toads is more than I can care for.
Question 2) is there anywhere on the east side of the Portman that carries really small feeder insects? I want to very their diet, also am a little short on fruit flies as their appetites have gotten pretty strong. The only place I know of is Aquariums West in Van. but coming out from Langley, it's a bit of a drive for fruit flies.
Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
Wendy
