Reply With Quoteare they fire belly or red belly toads?
just happen to see and cant resist myself from getting this pair of toad. im a total beginner in frogs and need advises on water temperature, feeding and any other things i should take note on.
are they fire belly or red belly toads?
im putting the frogs in a 60length x 30 height , do i need to cover the tank??? they dont seem to jump high enough to escape
Bro, I would suggest you keep a lower profile with it unless you want AVA to come knock your door....

Hi pyl
Congrats and welcome to our Amphibian club!
I also keep 2 pairs Red Belly Toads, 15 White Tree Frogs, 4 Green Tree Frogs, 2 White Lip Tree Frogs,1 large Pacman Frog, 2 Wallace Flying Tree Frogs ( both passed away due to fungi infection last month but with me for 8 months) and lastly 2 common toads( which i caught them from garden). I feed them with weekly SGD18 crickets and meal worms for Red Belly Toads. I'm still looking for more .. I 'm never satisfied just call me greedy ? I'm just an amphibian fanatic !!
Just ask me anything about frogs and toads.. I'll be there for you! oops sorry Merv i leaked my secrets..AVA cant be bother about me , lah i know!

Eddy, it's always better to be careful... You'll never know when they are too free with nothing else to do....
To the hell of these "kiasu" officers, i must say.
Must appeal to my good friend, Khaw Boon Wan( this Sunday when I visit his home) whom AVA is under his ministry to relax the some amphibian rules so that I can bring in my greatest dream frog, the giant african pixie frog without any restriction. oops!
You better keep your tank covered. These toads are combat trained, they will find the smallest hole and they will manage to climb out. They also will drown if too much water. I have 2 toads die this way. I think you can provide more "dry" areas for them They eat frozen bllod worms, hand-feed with a pair of tweezers, 2 frogs can eat about half a block.
wow Eddie why are you going to Khaw Boon Wan place? He invite you over for curry eating session? But Merviso is right, it's better to keep a low profile regarding Exotics no matter how low end exotics they may be...

normally how long can a box of crickets survive? how about mealworms? later i go diy one wire mesh cover, incase the frogs jump out and get eaten by my dog and die together.
Bro, think egg-crate should make a good cover for them... and best thing it will not rust...
eddy, how big is your home????
so the regulation for newt and frog is cannot buy but can keep if you have it just like PNT OR cannot buy cannot keep like Star Tortoise. Hope AVA re-look into relaxing the banned on captive-bred tortoise
just went to c328, bought crickets for my frog
Those are super worms a larger version of mealworms, and yes you can feed them super worms as long as they're big enough to swallow them.

Thanksdkk08, still considering if i should buy the mealworms, did abit of research and read that mealworms are best avoid because of their hard shells, which may results in bad digestions.
Made a temporary diy tank cover, hopefully the frogs wont escape
The gap is still too big, it will still escape. Just be very careful. Perhaps if your tank bigger and only 2 toads they are not so active. mine is very active and they keep climbing and jumping, that's why they escape.
It's illegsl to keep these critters. this still applies-

Amphibians do well in well-ventilated and cool environment, work towards these parameters.
This cover is inadequate, use egg crate instead.

A worm bin can maintain a steady supply of compost worms to feed your pets. That is a long time commitment however, so don't just go get it!
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and he will drink beer while getting sunburnt.
