Which way should a wealth toad point?

Posted by admin on November 30th, 2009 and filed under toad house | 3 Comments »

I want it in the hallway should it be outside pointing towards the house ? Or in the hallway pointing outwards?

It should be as close as possible to the doorway and it should most definitely be pointing inwards towards the house, otherwise your wealth flows out.

How often should one feed a Bufo Alvarius toad?

Posted by admin on November 28th, 2009 and filed under toad | 1 Comment »

I am interested in taking care of a Bufo Alvarius toad and read up on this rare species of amphibian and read on a care sheet for the toad but it dosent go into specifics with feeding a Bufo Alvarius it just states how to do it and not how often to do it. I plan on maybe mainly feeding it crickets gut loaded with things like calcium but I tried to find out on when to feed it but cant find anything. So please help.

Colorado River Toad : Bufo Alvarius

I used to have a pair of these, all my friends enjoyed there "company".

They need a broad spectrum of food. Crickets, flies, we even got mine to eat wax worms and grasshoppers.

You want to watch yours, every ones different on when and how much the eat. I tried to always have something in the terrarium for them to eat, as they are opportunistic hunters.

Mine would roughly eat (each)
3-6 crickets
1-2 wax worms
And SEVERAL flies

They are fairly tough to breed though, you have to mimic the season changes pretty closely.

What are water frogs adaptations for food and and escaping predator?

Posted by admin on November 23rd, 2009 and filed under frogs | 2 Comments »

I need to know for a paper at school and i cant find water frogs anywhere.

What you are looking for are the common frogs which are amphibians that live in the water and on land! They are only differ in their varieties and characteristics.
Like most animals in the world, frogs have special features to help them survive the wild that they live in. When a frog has webbed feet you can tell that it is a good swimmer. Did you know that there is a reason that frogs have big mouths? It’s because their teeth aren’t very good at chewing, so they need to have a big mouth to swallow things whole. A frog’s eyes & nostrils are located on the top of their heads so they can breathe (and spot predators) while the rest of their bodies is hidden underwater. Do you know that frogs have slime covering their bodies? It keeps the frogs skin from drying out. Frogs eyes are big because sight is their major sense that they use the most.
Frogs, believe it or not have predators. Some predators of frogs include (on land) birds, lizards, and snakes. In the water some predators are sharp teethed fish, mammals, water shrews, and birds. The main ways that a frog keeps itself away from predators are hiding under stones and leaves, (using camouflage). Some people in many countries are starting to eat frogs. Parasites take away food from frogs before they can digest the food.
A lot of frogs have defense mechanisms to help protect themselves. One of the defense mechanisms is the frog’s color. Bright colors may warn predators that they are poisonous.

What is the best type of tree frog to keep as a pet, and how much would it cost?

Posted by admin on November 18th, 2009 and filed under frog | 1 Comment »

I really want a pair of either red-eyed tree frogs or poison dart tree frogs. Does anybody know which would make a better pet, which would cost less, or if another type of tree frog would be a better choice?

Poison Dart frogs aren’t really the best frog for a beginner. Red-eyed tree frogs are good, but they cost about £50/$40 but they are very cool. Green Tree frogs (European and American) are easy frogs to look after, and quite cheap (£10/$8). Also Grey Tree Frogs are good, and are around the same amount of money as Green tree frogs. However, tree frogs don’t tend to do much during the day, at night they are very fun to watch though.

Could it be Toads? I have been noticing little turds around our house.?

Posted by admin on November 15th, 2009 and filed under toad house | 1 Comment »

The only thing I can imagine it to be is toad poop but it is like and inch long. Seems to big to come out of the toad. I have seen some chatter on this just wandering if anyone else has a clue? Could it be snakes that are eating the toads?

It’s me, sorry, I’ll try not to poop in your house anymore.

Is it true that giving a cigarette to a toad (or a frog), it will swallow smoke untill it explodes?

(sorry for my english)
I asked this question on italian Answers, but I didn’t have any convincing answers.
So I hope to get some serious news by international users :)
So people, tell me: do you know something about this stuff?
Is it just a urban legend, or is it true? And if it’s true: why does it happens?
Danny: in english, please.

No. The cigarettte doesn’t pump out smoke with any force. The lack of oxygen would just kill the fire with no problem.

What is a frog called when it still has gills?

Posted by admin on November 15th, 2009 and filed under frog | 10 Comments »

Yeah, what is a frog called when it still has gills?
No Stupid answers please.

As long as it has gills and tail, the term tadpole will be applied. Only after metamorphosis, when the tail is resorbed and the gills are replaced by lungs do we call frog.
If the frog has become adult and developed gonads, retaining the gills, then it will be called a neotenous frog.

Ever have your dog or cat eat one of your reptiles?

Posted by admin on November 11th, 2009 and filed under toad house | 7 Comments »

The other day my cat knocked my fire bellied toad’s tank down. The toad is missing now and I searched all over my house. This type of toad is semi-poiseness but not deadly. If this has happened to you please explain what happened to your cat or dog.

Never had an animal eat a semi poisonous animal, but my dog did once chew up my box turtle. Poor little girl had to be super glued back together and on antibiotics for a while. I would check with your vet and keep a close eye on your cat. While they may not be deadly to humans, your kitty is much smaller than you and the amount of toxins ingested may still be dangerous. Even if your cat didn’t eat the toad but just mouthed or pawed it, it still could have ingested some of the toxins. Good luck

How fast do wild toads reproduce?

Posted by admin on November 11th, 2009 and filed under toads | 1 Comment »

We found these 2 little toads and now there are like 10 or 12. I was just wondering how fast toads reproduce.

They reproduce rapidly.. Like a thousand or more at a time.. They are prolific egg producers and soon the 10 or 12 will become thousands..
