Makes me curious... How would you SHIP a toad!?!

Why? U want a few? They'd have to be shipped express in a ventilated box and be labeled fragile and stuff

If I have too many toadlets I may be able to ship a few out

And I'm working on my own care sheet for u zeth

 

[agent A]

here r a few pics of spaz shedding his skin

and time for a tadpole anatomy quiz!!!

label structures A-G please:

 

[CoolMantid]

Uh

B- mouth

c- Gills

a- intestine?

d- eye

e- tail

f- feet stumps or a *****

g- ?????

 

[agent A]

Ok most r correct

Though f is the anus

And g is the heart

Also the proper term for the intestine is the spiral gut

Otherwise good job :clap:

Very generous, but no - just curious. That's too long-term of a commitment, and I'm way too flaky. I was just curious how it would work.

I really like this post you sould write an article and make it pdf I would love to help you if you want!

Once they're adult, could I have one?

Congratulations!

 

[agent A]

Sure if I can find a way to safely ship them

They r HUGE tads now lol

 

[CoolMantid]

Can you post a pic of it next to a ruler but dont kill it

 

[agent A]

I will try but they move a lot

 

[agent A]

well i declared war and won!!!

when i got aquatic plants, there were snail eggs on them (didnt know this at first)

and snails infested the tadpola cage (snails are BAD for the tads, they can eat tiny baby tads, eat all their food and carry parasites)

so i removed the tads to a small container and poured the old water into the toilet

when i flushed the toilet, those mother #*@%ing snails stuck to the toilet bowl! so i had to bleach them to kill them

but the tads r good and healthy now B)

 

[sinensispsyched]

Wow, sounds like an excerpt from the Civil War.

 

[CoolMantid]

Wow. Poor snails but I would have done the same thing

 

[agent A]

the snails were UGLY so i dont care lol

i wanna get some of those yellowey snails though

 

[sinensispsyched]

That's the equivalent of racial injustice!

 

[agent A]

That's the equivalent of racial injustice!

i guess it might be, but in the end we keep the animals that appeal to the eye and ignore the others

anyways i am almost done with my care guide and will post more pics of the tads soon

 

[sinensispsyched]

Just read the care guide... good job!
