A little info on

[Dwarfs]

Very nice set up, it looks nicer than mine If the toads get hungry the fish will probably go Just tell your son they're hiding

Thanks .

I think they dig it so far. They seem to like swimming back and forth, and they congregate in the back section alot.

At least I hope they like it anyways lol .


Yeah, I dunno about those guppies. I got 5 for .99 cents and by the time I got home home 1 was dead (although I think it got pinched in the corner of the bag TBH). Another one was dead this morning before I put them in the tank (but I think the larger guppy kiddo killed it..it's freakin mean!).

The remaining 3 seem to be enjoying the 3 gallons that is there...they don't stay together much though. 2 hang together but the other one..they stay away from it lol..cas it's so mean and bitey.

I'd like for them to atleast get big enough for me to see what they might look like...right now they are just kinda clear lol.

****************
Got any idea's on how to get Wie to eat though? He looks a might skinny IMO...does he not to you guys? Should his little tail.backbone be stickin up like that? His little tummy looks sunk in as well. He is an active little critter though (and um..he's not feeling to bad..he was trying to hump Lin earlier and all ).

I put them both in a kritter keeper while I figured out where all teh water was coming from. And while they were in there I put 2 crickets in with them. Lin ate one and the other one...well....let's just say it found a nice perch for a while.....on Wie's head . I should have taken a picture of that...it was quite funny, I was like "well I'll be, wouldja look at that ". He never even attempted to eat one though...hasn't eaten (that I've seen) since I brought them home. Lin on the other hand...has had about 6 crickets lol, little piglet.

That is an amazing setup. The water fall is going to make the setup the greatest. Its also already better than mine. I would just put and extra one or two crickets in becuase if he is hungry enough i thinkk he will eat. You can try to feed some worms to him. hang the worm in front of hin with some tweezers or something Good Luck!!!

 

[fish_keeper2]

i dont mean to steal this post but what is the smallest tank they can be in if its just one.

 

[SRC]

) Thanks...I tried to make it look as realistic and natural as possible for them...I want them to feel comfortable and at home..you know.

One of them..Lin REALLY likes me...he (I assume it's a he anyways lol) will coem hopping over anytime I come near the tank. Makes my heart melt...even though I know all he wants is a cricket .

I can't put too many crickets in there...they hide up in the leaves lol. Sneaky kirtters .


***************************************

From everything I read they do better in 2's.

And according to everthing I've read (and when I say that..I mean ALOT of reading time lol) you need 4 gallons per toadie.

 

[fish_keeper2]

thanks......if i can ever get a spare ten gal(and dont use it for fish ) )ill get some 2 of these guys....will do research of course.

 

[comedykicks]

That looks awesome! Makes me want to go out and get some myself

 

[SRC]

omg..just wait til you guys see what I made for the tank lol. You're gonna trip.

 

[SRC]

I made the neatest little waterfall out of my filter. I'm not one to toot my own horn very often..but I think this turned out grrrreat. I think it just makes the tank look completed. I think I've fallen in love with these toadies.

I finally got Wie to eat!!!! I bought some wax worms and he gobbled one up! YAY! Now if I can just get him to eat a cricket...we'll be set. lol

He went from looking like this....

To looking like this...

He's still not "fattened" up enough..but atleast his little backbone isn't stickin out anymore .

 

[MasterP]

I'm glad you got wie to eat.She is looking alot better. That waterfall is amazing, the tank is the coolest. Good Luck!

 

[SRC]

Thanks!!


Ok Wie is refusing to eat again..and he's getting skinny, again.

Lin eats everything that moves..and Wie will just turn his back and hop away from it. *sigh*

I have seperated Wie into a seperate tank (it's actually a 4 gallon rubber maind tote box..I put carpet moss on the floor and gave him a "pond" made out of a flower pot saucer (it's about 2" deep and about6" dia.) and put a piece of moss covered bark in the corner for him to hide in) he just sits in the water pretty much.

I thought the waxworms were going to be a solution but now..he won't even give them a second look, just turns and hops back to the water .

I read on a frog forum to maybe put him in a 1/2 pedialyte 1/2 water solution and use that for his "pond"...to make sure he stayed hydrated and that it may perk him up and stimulate his appetite.
But I dunno...and I don't wanna kill him..you know lol.

Anyone got any ideas/suggestions?

 

[SRC]

Well this just sucks. Wie died a couple days ago. I tried everything to get that darn frog to eat..he just refused. I even bought a $5 bottle of Pedialyte to mix with his water to try and perk him up (by suggestion from a few frog boards I joined). The entire time I had him..he ate 1 wax worm..the rest he simply hopped away from . I tried crickets of all shapes and sizes, chopped up earthworms, mealworms, and waxworms.
(I know $5 doesn't seem like alot..but I used it like 2 times and now it is just going to sit unused..cas it's the unflavored kind ad I don't have a baby. So it's just wasted money..which I hate.)

AND on top of That (if that isn't enough...)

(despite repeated attempts to sway my conclusion) Lin is hopping around the house (so I hope..I've got water bowls sat in every room just on the hope he finds one and doesn't dry out) somewhere.
I went to feed him the other morning and *poof* no more toad . While I do NOT believe he could lift the cage top alone, then manage to climb out all at the same time...my son DECLARES he did not leave the top open..which it was closed when I came in to feed him...not that it means a thing. THat is still up for debate..and he is losing.

I can't even lift the cage lid with 2 fingers...so I find it hard to believe a 1 1/2 - 2" frog, that weighs less then a piece of 110lb weight card stock paper, could manage it, along with climb out at the same time (if you let go it snaps back shut).

So now I have no toadies **cries**. I've looked everywhere for this toad...but my god there are so many places it could be though .

Ooohhh SRC! I am so sorry about Wie
I am really hoping that Lin pops up for you very soon, keep us posted.
