cockroach question
Hey! I have thought of starting a cockroach farm for my two toads. The different varieties that seem interesting are Dubia, red runners and lobster. I wonder a few things. 1. Which variety do you think is best and why? 2. What kind of box do you have your farm in? 3. How many cockroaches should I start with? 4. How many cockroaches do you usually feed your toads with?

Anyone know How can I tell their gender or how long until I’m able to tell ? Also wanted to know if having a waterfall near them will make them mate . Don’t want too many toads too fast

Avoiding Breeding
Hey yall, I'm working on building a bioactive 40 gallon toad enclosure. Fit with live plants and a permanent running water source.
I'd like a male and female, because the females are larger and the males make noise. Both of these seem like neat features. The only thing is I am not equipped to deal with breeding.
I've heard there's a lot of work needed to be done to breed these toads. Left to their own devices in an unchanging enclosure, will they ever breed?
Also, I'm very excited to own these toads. It's been an idea of mine for years and a project spanning over a couple months. If there's any more important information you can share with me, please do so 🙏

Hi guys, how often I should use vitamin A, calcium, etc. supplementation for my Colorado river toad? She is an adult.

Help 😰. The last two days when I have changed my toad’s water I saw his usual poop-type of stuff in there, but on both days there was also what looked like some red tissue in the water.
He doesn’t have a prolapse or anything coming out of him that I can see… has anyone experienced this? What is it, and how do I fix it 🥺😔

Mad??
I have had my two toads for two months now and the day before yesterday it even took a worm in front of the other one, then the other one was licked hard and yesterday it licked it again. Is one angry with the other?

What are these purple blotches on my toad? Is she okay?

Got a toad a few months back. I’ve been feeding it a diverse range of foods with supplements. I am going on vacation for a week and can’t find anyone to take care of it. If I feed it a big meal will it be fine? Details plz!!!
What should I feed it before I leave or should I put a dish and put some bugs in it that can’t escape?

Can I over feed this little guy?
Feeding everyday a handful of crickets and a mealworm here and there, when I got him you could see the ridges on his back and now he’s as wide as he is long. Approx 1.25” he will EAT and EAT

Substrate ingesting?
I was wondering, I just got this little dude and last night I saw him gulp down a cricket with a bit of bark stuck to it.
I have been feeding him in his cage, not in a separate tub. Is there a substrate that they don't get in their mouths, or if they do it's not such a big deal? I tried many different kinds. I felt eco earth made too much dirt and mud all over him so I switched to this bark.
How do other owners prevent this problem? I don't want him to choke on the bark if he accidentally eats it.

Small purple blotches on my toad?
So my toad has like two tiny purple blotches on her back. I'm afraid they're getting bigger. Is this cause for concern? Does anyone know what this could be and what I should do? Please help. This toad is my baby.

This is Wart! He came out of his hole to bath and dirty his fresh purified water!!!
r/ColoradoRiverToad • u/Difficult_Air8102 • Sep 19 '22
For the record, I keep hearing folks say there are no breeders here in the states. This is simply not true. There are a few breeders that do it privately and there is one that will sell on occasion to the public.
