Good morning!
After lurking for a little while, I wasn't expecting this to be my first post, but here goes.
As you can see by the pictures, I have a new-ish member of the family that is currently no larger than the Bluenose etching on a Canadian dime. This little American Toad came in with a few others in tadpole form over the winter with a purchase of pond plants.
Providing shelter and suitable living quarters is no issue, providing a diet is more of one. To this point, I'm not even entirely sure how it survived as a tadpole - never mind the last couple of weeks. For now, I've collected a few minuscule isopods from the backyard (pictured). I don't see myself being able to collect for much longer.
So, experts, what are my feeding options for something this small?
Thanks in advance!
