Our Fish Friends – by Greenie and Brownie

It’s time to tell you about our fish friends that live in our aquarium with us.
We showed you the male guppy and the babies in another blog.  Here is the female and male guppy.  They don’t stay still very long so April has a hard time getting a decent picture of them.    They’ve been [...]

Newts are our Friends – by Greenie

I think we can breath easy now.  The newts seem to be okay.  They even became more photogenic in the last 24 hours.  We have named them Randall One and Randall Two (after a monster in Monsters, Inc.).

Yesterday Randall One, who we have not seen eating, ate a piece of waxworm off of a toothpick that [...]

The morning shower – by Brownie

Hi everyone,
First, I want to discuss courtship.

Crickets – YUMMMMM!!!!

Hi,
Today we get to talk about our favorite subject.
Crickets!
As fire-bellied toads we only eat live food.  Don’t try to feed us that dead or thawed out junk!  It won’t get by us.
So April had to figure out how to keep live food on hand without running to the pet store every other day.  You see, [...]

What we want

Hi again, 
April said we should tell you about what we want.  Just in case someone out there sees us and says, “Boy, I would love to have one of those fire-bellied toads as a pet.”
 We are fairly easy to keep but do require some attention.  Things you need to know before you decide you want one [...]

Hello world!

We started this blog to tell you about us – fire-bellied toads – and our friends.  First, we are Brownie and Greenie the fire-bellied toads that live with April and Trumpet (the green elephant).  Brownie is a girl and Greenie is a boy.  Right now Greenie is in the mating mood and has been singing [...]
