Help With FBT

Walsh Sep 23, 2003 05:31 AM

I just got my first 2 FBT's. Everything seems to be going well, but i keep hearing way to many different responses to how much to feed them. one guy at Petco is trying to tell me five a day each.( crickets )same store different guy says 5 every other day. I have seen posts here that say 12 a week. I'm more confused about it than ever before. Also is it normal for them to wrestle around, just want to make sure they are not fighting. I think they are both males, because they both "call" any help would be greatly appreciated.

I buy crickets once a week and I feed them as much as they want really. Then in a few days I feed them again. I have never limited them. I have heard pet stores say feed every day, every other day. It is based on your toads. Mine would eat every day if I would feed them. I read that if you want to reproduce keep them happy and full and they will more likely. I though have 4 toads, one calls and I have never had eggs. Good luck.
