I am so confused! Everyone has different opinions about how much and how often to feed FBTs. I have 2-the pet store told me 3-4 crix a day which I have also heard elsewhere. Many people have been saying evry other day...I started feeding 4 daily, but have since cut down to 1-2 a day. I know they don't need it every day. Since I have cut down how many crickets-toads seem less energetic. Not that they are not active, but just less than when I was feeding them more. I fed them 1 each yesterday and they attacked them like they were really hungry. Tonight I fed them 2 each and again they ate them both very quickly.

2 to 4 crix per toad three times a week is enough

Seriously, there are professionals among us on these forums with better advice than pet store people. From everything I have heard, pet store give bad advice 99% of the time. Your frogs WILL NOT starve with an every other day feeding. OVERFEEDING is far more dangerous to their health. You ARE overfeeding them.
