 o
Hundreds of Baby Toads to feed

Posted by blumen_grower (My Page) on

Hi!

Our inground pool has been let go for a number of years, getting ready to finally fill it in. It has been a breeding area for frogs and toads, they survive because of a low end and plus logs and such in there for them.

I had just finished a wildlife pond, about 12x12 with a deep area of 3 feet, it has an area for the toads and frogs to climb out.

My question is: With about 20 large toads and frogs, plus a few hundred baby toads (frog tadpoles not ready) will they have enough to eat with the bugs flying around?

I understand many of these tiny toads will be eaten by others.

Is there any type of food I should buy until the algae forms more?

Thanks,
Debbie

If they are still in the tadpoll stage you can get alge disks from the pet store. They are made for alge eaters in aquariums. That would be where I'd start. :)

If anyone in my Lancaster county, Pa. area has toads or frogs (but no bullfrogs, please!) they would like to give to me for my backyard pond I will come to their place and take them off your hands! I want local frogs and toads not imported! Mine died over the hard winter we had and I am frogless and toadless at the moment and don't wish to introduce foreign species into my back yard! Don't try to fool me with bullfrogs! I DO know the difference!
