Albino Woodhouse toads not eating

rana888 Oct 03, 2007 09:29 PM

I am having extreme difficulty getting my albino Woodhouse toads to continue to eat. They are past the toadlett stage and should be over the hump. Instead, they seem scared of even the small crickets. They will occassionally lunge at one, but I have yet to see them actually catch a cricket. I have changed substrates, temperature, and light and still cannot get them to eat. Does anyone have any advice for me on this. I have successfully kept reptiles and amphibians on and off for almost twenty years but I am completely stumped with this pair of toads. Thank you
