Moving Fire-bellied Toads and Fire-bellied Newts

Hi,
Well, we made the big move from Denver, Colorado to a small town in Wyoming.
 It was a long ride but we didn’t get cold and everyone lived through it.
April put us (Limey, Greenie, Brownie, Randal1 and Randal2) into a small aquarium with just an half-inch of water in the bottom.  She was nice enough to [...]

How We Like Our Tank Set Up

Hi,
Today we’re going to tell you what we like and dislike about setting up a home for us.
First, we have seen some tanks that are just water and a small flat area of dry land.  YUKKKK!  How boring.  Don’t they realize we are animals in need of variety and fun?
How do you know whether we like [...]

Full House

Hi,
Our house is full of animals today.
April bought us all food–even Fluffy, the corn snake.
He got three mice.  But, he didn’t eat the third one so April got rid of it.  Mice smell whether they are alive or dead and this one was dead so out it went.  Fluffy gets 15 minutes to decide whether he [...]

We hate those red wiggle worms!

Happy New Year!
  We thought we would report on our diet today.
The other day April bought those skinny red wiggly worms (the kind you can use as bait for catching fish) at the pet store for us.  The lady at the store said we would eat them.  Boy, did we prove her wrong!
April cut one up [...]

Where do Fire-bellied Toads come from?

Hi,
Ever wonder where wild fire-bellied toads live?

Releasing a Fire-Bellied Toad into the Wild

  What happens when you release a fire-bellied toad into the wild?
DISASTER!
Fire-bellied toads are not native to most of the world.  Oriental fire-bellied toads are found in the wild in parts of Northeastern China, Southeastern Siberia, Korea and the Tsushima and Kyushu islands of Japan.
That cute little toad you have in your home as a pet most likely [...]

Fire-Bellied Toads and Personality Plus

Hi again,
April asked us to write to you about personalities.
As animals, and especially amphibians, many people out there probably think “How boring having a toad as a pet.” or  “Give me an active dog or persnickety cat any day.”
But, you would be extremely surprised at how entertaining we are.  It became more noticeable when Limey [...]

The Best Cricket Hunt Yet

Hi,
We just finished the best cricket hunt ever.  April filmed most of it.  And, she said it ended so sweet with all three of us basking in the glory of the hunt.
See for yourself.

Kind Regards,
Limey, Brownie and Greenie
P.S. April still doesn’t know if Limey is a male or female yet.  We plan on keeping her [...]
